The author continued: “I am grateful that Mr Broadwater has finally been vindicated, but the fact remains that 40 years ago, he became another young Black man brutalised by our flawed legal system. I don't like reading books about people with whacky families or who were heroic recreational drug users. The story has an alternate timeline, going back and forth from the time she was a baby to her upbringing by her grifter father and into adulthood. I loved both, but especially the childhood timeline with Lucky being raised by a con-man but refusing to completely use her soul to the game.

She has taught creative writing and editing at the University of Toronto and Centennial College, and lives in Toronto with her family. She lived a childhood where her father taught her to lie, trick people, change her appearance and identity, and steal. Anthony Broadwater, who spent sixteen years in prison, was cleared Monday of raping Alice Sebold when she was a student at Syracuse University, an assault she wrote about in her 1999 memoir, “Lucky. When Lucky’s boyfriend goes missing and it appears all of his crimes are going to be put on her, she runs.A grifter on the run who wins the lottery is only the opening gambit of this high-fueled twisty tale through the life of Lucky, daughter of a con artist who seemed doomed to make her father’s mistakes.

I loved all the twists and turns of this adventure, not knowing where Lucky was going to end up next. I’m sure that it’s going to be a hit with the younger public and I won’t be surprised if it is made into a TV series or movie.But, following the trial, I was in that sort of valley stage, which, I suppose, is how life goes and it took me a bit longer to get through that. Scribner, the publisher of Lucky, released a statement following Broadwater’s exoneration that distribution of all formats of the book would cease while Sebold and the publisher determined how to revise the work.
