Opis

Sometimes life doesn't go according to plan. But you can fight it a little. Toss in some humor and you might get what you set out for in the first place. This collection of short stories, set in the era of the Great Depression, will surprise you in their relevance and wit. Author Michelle Sandoval offers up six tales of humor and heart that break into the lives of ordinary people under extraordinary circumstances. The Great Depression, which often mirrors modern times, is a surprising backdrop for her always genuine, sometimes eccentric characters, all of whom are struggling to rise to the surface and realize their dreams, regardless of the obstacles before them. Whether it's Hollywood stardom, crossing the country by hopping trains, or paying the rent one balloon sale at a time, "As Luck Would Have It" offers readers stories of humor, pathos, and yes, the occasional farm animal.
