'Just My Luck' is a unique urban coming of age story set in Richmond, Virginia. It is a gritty tale of adversity, resilience, love, murder, and hope. Not necessarily in that order.Everything might have been different, if Tina had spoken up before her mother - who should’ve learned from previous experience not to trust too good to be true men - left on her ill-fated weekend trip. Even at thirteen, Tina didn’t buy into the miracle that the sleazy Mr. Franks would make all their dreams come true, and would be the solution to all their problems. But considering all the unhappiness and trauma in her mother’s past-including the circumstances of her daughter’s birth-Tina didn’t have the heart to speak up and burst Antoinette’s bubble. Besides, neither of them could have anticipated that, instead of getting her happily-ever-after, Antoinette would disappear. Abandoned in one of Richmond’s roughest neighborhoods, by eighteen, Tina experiences nightmarish things she wishes she could forget. If not for sympathetic strangers coming to her rescue, she might not have survived adolescence. Then, just as she feels she can finally put all the drama of her past behind her, things again get complicated. She is faced with the murder of a new friend, insecurities of a new love, and the real possibility that she might become the target of some very dangerous people.
