Perry Crandall, though not officially "retarded", has an IQ of 76. He lives with his grandmother, the only family member who will acknowledge him. His mother has abandoned him, his brothers instruct him to call them "cousins" and his father is nowhere to be found. But Perry and his grandmother have a happy home. He works in a marina, has loyal friends and is content with his life. When grandma passes away unexpectedly, his birth family shows up, sells the house from under him, and throws him out. He finds a new home with his marina friends and all is well, until the unimaginable happens. He wins $12 million dollars in the lottery, playing the numbers he and grandma used to play before she died. What ensues is a battle royal to gain control over Perry's newfound fortune, with an ending that will warm your heart.

Aloha Kathy,
Thank you so much for recommending Lottery. I have had a wonderful time connecting with book clubs through bookstores and libraries. Often, if my schedule permits, I participate by speaker phone or ichat.
Thank you for your support!
Much aloha
