Publisher's summary

A road trip yields surprises and secrets in a poignant and exhilarating novel about mothers, daughters, and sisters by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids.

India Redding is juggling a web design career, a long-distance romance, and an exasperating promise she made to her late father: keep an eye on her vivacious mother, Eldora. A former Las Vegas showgirl, the flamboyant sixtysomething bombshell never lacks for curveballs. Her latest idea is that she and India hightail it out of Colorado Springs and hit the road for Sin City in her turquoise ’57 Thunderbird.

Eldora can revisit the neon strips of her youth, and together they can track down India’s twin sister, Gypsy, a haunted vagabond artist prone to disappearing. As mother and daughter sail down Route 66—the Mother Road of souvenir shops, outlying motels, and roadside diners—a flood of memories returns for Eldora. So do the secrets of her past that she could never bring herself to share, until now.

But India has her own secrets, too. Maybe she and her mother are getting to know each other, truly, for the first time. Whatever bumps lie ahead, it’s going to be a life-changing ride to remember.

Revised edition: This edition of Lady Luck’s Map of Vegas includes editorial revisions.

Critic reviews

Lady Luck's Map of Vegas is my favorite kind of novel—a fun, fabulous, fast-paced story that takes me right to the heart of what it means to be a family. A magical road trip...a pair of unforgettable women on a quest to understand their own lives...and a drop-dead gorgeous man looking for love. What more could a reader want? This is a complex, beautiful, and moving story that will resonate with you until long after you’ve finished the final pages.” (Kristin Hannah)

A good listen!

Although slow and a bit tedious at times, the suspense of this story lasts until the very “last page.” The story itself has lots of twists and turns, and I always appreciate the unexpected! Such a great love story - you want to fall in love with Jack yourself! The author also does a great job of helping you understand mental illness and the effects and hardships of which it takes on everyone in our world. I think anyone that listens to this story, will emerge as a more compassionate and accepting person. The performance was perfect - all of the characters portrayed had an appropriate and believable voice.

Good listen.

This book lost a star because the storylines went on way too long with a minuscule wrap up, in my opinion too many unsettling questions, I hate when books leave you with questions.

Enjoyable Listen!

It took a little bit for me to get into the story, but once I did, I enjoyed it a lot. It was something different and I liked the mother/daughter aspect of the story and how they told the past and present.
