The Good Fortune of Bad Luck
Destiny Holt forged a plan long before her eighteenth birthday, though it was that night, right after she and Brent said I do, when Destiny first voiced those goals out loud. Four years to graduate college, another year to settle in as an RN and save for a down payment on a real, brick home. By year six, she and Brent would start a family. The perfect formula for happiness — But twelve years into her six-year plan, Destiny is struggling to keep the faith. and stay on path.
Brent’s scrapes with the law, his all-too-often unemployment, and overall apathy have Destiny angry, impatient, and scared, but her mother boasted more ex-lovers than a Kardashian family reunion, so, refusing to be anything like her mother, Destiny is hell-bent to prove this apple rolled far from the family tree.
Barely holding the plan together, her sole focus is graduating college because that achievement promises the first crisp bite of the utopian life Destiny so badly hungers. But more doubt worms in after a minor fender-bender exposes truths she’s long ignored. Now, Destiny’s choices threaten to shake not only her plans, but the lives of others caught in the shadow of her bad luck.
Challenging the very concept of luck, The Good Fortune of Bad Luck is an ode to the flawed nature of hopes and dreams. In a free-for-all between fate and free-will, bad luck and good fortune battle for supremacy and it is anyone's guess who will triumph between divine providence and that fickle seductress known as karma.
