Emma has lost her job but keeps her sense of humor as she struggles to keep her family going, even if they can't match the pampered lifestyle of her friends from "the Estates." Her naïve, idealistic husband Charles is no help. His only concern is seeing that there are no preservatives, pesticides, or growth hormones in his food. Their friend Andre, an unmarried, eccentric intellectual, is even less concerned with what he calls Emma's first world problems. He's content to live on pizza and donuts in his shack by the river. When Emma uncovers a conspiracy of real estate developers to get Charles away from her and get Andre's property away from him, it is up to her to stop it.
Autorenporträt
A large part of Rea Keech's career has been teaching international students in college, including at the University of Tehran (Peace Corps assignment), the University of South Carolina, Voorhees College, schools in Japan and Greece, and the community college in Maryland, where he now lives. He is a retired Professor of World Literature and Linguistics. In Japan, Keech taught English from 1969 to 1971. Uncertain Luck is his second novel set outside of the United States. The title refers to the vaguest prediction possible on an omikuji fortune paper that one gets at a Shinto shrine or Buddhist temple in Japan.
