Lucky is 10 years old and living with her guardian in theMojave Desert town, well actually it isn't even a town called Hard Pan in the desert of California. Can it be a town when there are only 43 residents and only 3 of them have jobs? Can the higher power that others talk about while they attend the various self help groups on the porch help Lucky? Is Brigitte her beautiful French guardian planning to leave her and return to France, who will care for Lucky then?
