With the name, Robyn Fortune, shouldnβt the streets be paved with gold? Or at least paved? Not so for this Park Slope make-up artist/aspiring comic. Ever since her divorce, life has taken her down a rocky road, with no signs pointing to fame or fortune. And sheβs not laughing. Her exβs gambling debts left her teetering on bankruptcy. Her bi-polar boss at βDaybreakβ is about to can her. And over at Hotel Marriage, Robyn wonders if sheβll ever check- in again, while her sexually bored mother, Sheila Holtz, is threatening to check out. Back in Jersey, Harvey Holtz, an amateur cartographer, prefers mapmaking over lovemaking. Heβs a lost soul who canβt find his way back to his wifeβs heart. So itβs up to Robyn and her brother, Phillip, to get their parents to reconcile. Well, just Robyn. Phil would like to help. Really. But heβs swamped with work and family obligations. Go figure a family bar mitzvah is where fate steps in, making it a date with destiny for them all. Robyn is offered money to go on a blind date with Ken Danziger, a man who has had even more misfortune than her. Expecting love at first sight? Sorry, itβs a table for one at their self-pity parties. Until Robyn sees a photograph in his apartment she took fifteen years earlier, and discovers their paths have been crossing since birth. What follows is a series of hilarious and often heartbreaking encounters that unlock their secret pasts, and the roles of their meddling mamas. Fate & Ms. Fortune is about rebuilding a life after the marital foundation has cracked and about finding love when itβs not on the map. But mostly itβs about realizing that when fate knocks, youβd better answer, for good fortune could be at the door.
