THE LOTTERYS PLUS ONE
by Emma Donahue
Two couples (one gay and one lesbian, but it is not
important or dwelt upon) win the lottery – hence the name – and form a family
filled with love, diverse children and
pets. They use their money for good and
live a “perfect” life until one of the parents’ parent needs a home. Grandpa
just doesn’t fit – or does he?
Lots of life lessons engagingly presented in this charming
tale of family in all its permutations.
Well written with real and delightful characters and situations, this “children’s
book” is for adults as well. Donahue, best known for her searing tale ROOM,
finds a very different voice in this book filled love, laughter and acceptance.
