A Stroke of Good Luck
by Grace Rudolph
Paperback March 2003
PublishAmerica, Inc.; ISBN: 1592863574

This page-turning novel contains dark twists and turns and an undercurrent of laugh-out-loud humor. Set in a small New England town, it is the story of Gloria Lombardi's close knit and at times warring family and circle of friends. They take risks to protect Gloria's friend Apolonia, a young social worker, who is being stalked by the enraged husband of a woman she is trying to protect. The title is taken from a quote by the Dalai Lama — Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.

When Grace was a child at St. Angela Merici School, Sister James told the class that when their parents got old they should take care of them.

Ice Floes and Polar Bears will give you an insight into the daily frustrations and triumphs of long term care.
