From the Great Lakes of Michigan to Los Angeles and back again, Born Under a Lucky Moon is the tale of two very important (but distant) years in Jeannie Thompson’s life. While most people think their families are eccentric, Jeannie has concrete evidence. Things just seem to happen to her family. Look at only one very eventful year in her (embarrasing, crazy) colorful family’s life: surprise marriages, a sprinkler system cursed by the gods, a renegade granny, and all the other reasons for Jeannie’s current out-of-control, full-tilt existence. But an unexpected proposal from her long-time boyfriend means Jeannie may finally have to recognize her place among the people she loves most in the world—the same ones she ran away from in the first place.
