Product Description
“Don't go around measurin' yourself by other people's rulers. 'Cause you'll never measure up.” For most people, life is kind of like feeling around in the dark, stumbling into things and hoping they get what they think they want from what's around them. And if they don't get it, they just keep at it the same old way, but hoping for something different. But what if you could learn about life before making mistakes?

In Oak Park, Virginia, where the story takes place, life is both familiar and unpredictable, “just like any other place on earth with smart and simple people, pretty and ugly people, uppity and lowly folks. Somebody is always in some mess that they had no business in, or caught up in something they never expected.” When her adopted granddaughter, Ruby Gray, asks her about love, Miss Lucky, through her hard-won wit and wisdom, imparts to her the secrets to life and the essence of love.
