Lucky in the Corner

Nora and Fern's relationship as mother and daughter is a tumble of love and distrust. To Nora, her daughter is an enigma -- at the same time wonderful and unfindable. Fern sees her mother as treacherous -- for busting up their family to move in with her lover, Jeanne. As their lives become complicated by the arrivals of a skateboarding boyfriend for Fern, a shadowy affair for Nora, a baby in need of a family, and by the failing health of Lucky, their beloved dog, this mother and daughter find their way onto a fresh footing with each other. "With sharp humor and perception" (O: The Oprah Magazine), Lucky in the Corner shows us the way a family reconfigures itself as unexpected changes come its way -- and how, no matter what shape it takes, it remains a family.Author: Carol AnshawPublisher: Mariner BooksPublished: 07/14/2003Pages: 256Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.57lbsSize: 8.22h x 5.58w x 0.64dISBN: 9780618340705About the AuthorAnshaw, Carol: - Carol Anshaw is the author of Aquamarin
