Summary:

"A short story collection that pushes the boundaries of genre, Lucky Tomorrow presents an unforgettable cast of characters dreaming of redemption, purpose, and connection in a wounded yet beautiful world. Using the story of Felma-a flower vendor searching for the daughter she gave birth to while in prison, who was swiftly bundled away-as a nexus, Deborah Jiang-Stein delicately layers the stories of these outcasts, eccentrics, and visionaries, gathering them in from the shadows with remarkable empathy and candor, laying bare our shared sorrows and joys"-- Provided by publisher.
