Counterfeit Luck
Ebook (EPUB Format)
When good souls named Ray whisper sage words to three inmates about the meaning of luck, everything changes. True, these inmates are captive-Hannah, a hunch-driven journalism student in to write a story; Jake, a young animal sculptor in for a dubious accident; and Doc, a street-wise prison veteran-but what Ray teaches them brings changes no one imagines. Hannah, Jake and Doc ruminate over what Ray says in the nightly visits about luck-it can't be given away, it accumulates, and it withdraws if misused-but they resist. Even as their sketchy jailer morphs into a decent guy and prison crime drops to zero, they aren't convinced luck can be so po…

When good souls named Ray whisper sage words to three inmates about the meaning of luck, everything changes. True, these inmates are captive-Hannah, a hunch-driven journalism student in to write a story; Jake, a young animal sculptor in for a dubious accident; and Doc, a street-wise prison veteran-but what Ray teaches them brings changes no one imagines. Hannah, Jake and Doc ruminate over what Ray says in the nightly visits about luck-it can't be given away, it accumulates, and it withdraws if misused-but they resist. Even as their sketchy jailer morphs into a decent guy and prison crime drops to zero, they aren't convinced luck can be so potent. But when luck affably alters the whole prison population and turns the unfriendly nearby rural town into a warm-hearted welcome wagon to outsiders, they begin to believe. Meanwhile, William Abbott, the prison's humanistic warden, marvels at the prison's swarming behavior change, but has no idea what's causing it. When Hannah, Jake and Doc go home early, luck's gains fall like a movie meteor to earth. Crime rates rocket, the prison models danger, their former jailer body-doubles his uglier self, and the town retreats to native grumpiness. Abbott, fuming over injured inmates and rising crime, desperately seeks answers. Learning about luck in prison was easier than living with luck in freedom. Ray visits Hannah and Jake, now a couple, for a life correction. After hard bargaining, Abbott accepts Hannah and Jake's plan to use a willing inmate to save a precious young girl from certain death-the first in their plan that saves thousands. Abbott, in the exchange, is given the astonishing reason for his low crime. The book's surprising results seem wonderfully attainable. Counterfeit Luck is an irresistible romp through untouched territory as it chases a teary, life charging journey of hope. Get your copy now!
