Contributor(s):Author: Katherine CenterHow do you change your luck? Katherine Centers marvelously entertaining and poignant new novel is about choosing to look for happiness--and maybe getting lucky enough to find it. Sarah Harper isnt sure if the stupid decisions she sometimes makes are good choices in disguise--or if theyre really just stupid. But either way, after forwarding an inappropriate email to her entire company, she suddenly finds herself out of a job. So she goes home to Houston--and her sister, Mackie--for Thanksgiving. But before Sarah can share her troubles with her sister, she learns that Mackie has some woes of her own: After years of trying, Mackies given up on having a baby--and plans to sell on eBay the entire nursery shes set up. Which gives Sarah a brilliant idea--an idea that could fix everyones problems. An idea that gives Sarah the chance to take care of her big sister for once--instead of the other way around. But nothing worthwhile is ever easy. After a decade away, Sarah is forced to confront one ghost from her past after another: the father shes lost touch with, the memories of her mother, the sweet guy she dumped horribly in high school. Soon everything that matters is on the line--and Sarah can only hope that by changing her life she has changed her luck, too. Review citationsLibrary Journal - pg. 56 - 11/15/2009Publishers Weekly - pg. 27 - 11/09/2009Booklist - pg. 20 - 03/15/2010
