Set in 1986, the story straddles back and forth from the Great Lakes of Michigan to LA, Calif. It is a story of surprise marriages, a renegade granny, a sprinkler system cursed by the gods, and myriad other factors Jeannie blames for her full-tilt, out-of-control existence. But it’s also about good surprises-like an unexpected proposal that might just open Jeannie’s eyes to her real place, among the people she loves most in the world. As the author explains, it was very important for her to write “a warm comedy that understood that families are complicated but that they still love each other deeply” Join Dana Precious, author of Born Under a Lucky Moon for a book signing on Feb 17th at 7PM at Barnes and Noble at the Third Street Promenade. http://www.harpercollins.com/books/Born-Under-Lucky-Moon-Dana-Precious/?isbn=9780061876875 Fitness Mom needs votes to win contest to benefit Breast Cancer Research Foundation Today!
