Shortly after the death of his wife; Lester Riley; an invalid who has suffered a premature stroke; announces to his three estranged middle-aged children that he is getting married again ndash; to his young; sexy Japanese nurse. His children are also shocked to learn that Lester has saved an enormous amount of money from his secret life as the exclusive television and radio repairman to a Long Island Mafia family. To stop the nurse from getting this surprise inheritance they must stop the marriage. They try every trick in the book: legal; religious; psychological and ndash; in the case of one son ndash; criminal. But they fail; or do they? Lester; it seems; has a few tricks up his own sleeve.Stroke of Luck is a dark comedy that explores the themes of greed and guilt; how to reunite families that have been driven apart; and how debilitating physical ailments do not necessarily mean diminished mental faculties.

There are about 200 books in this ebook series that are offered in the kindle store for either free or for .99cent;. You cant really go wrong with the books offered for free. There is a variety of subjects covered and most of the books follow about the same format. You can take a peek inside the books by clicking "Look Inside" and this is pretty much what you get in each book.I gave this ebook only 4 stars because it just seemed so short. It seems the format for this book and most of the Baby Professor books have a picture with a paragraph and facts on the page. Then the next page is just a photo. It would be nice if they had another paragraph on that page as well. But again; since many are free its hard to complain.I do love the photos and the facts about alligators and crocodiles but it would be nice if the books went into more detail. Again they are very basic books that I hope will get my kids interested in finding more about each subject.I plan on keeping these books on my iPad for down time for my kids when they get bored waiting different places like the doctors office or practice for a sibling. I sometimes entertain a friends 3 year old daughter who loves to look through pictures on my phone. Next time we are together I plan on getting these books out and I cant wait to see which books she picks out.***** I received this ebook for free for my honest review. *****1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

My kids love science and I try to read to them during the sporting events instead of them playing video games. The books in this series have wonderful pictures along with little facts that go along with them. The words are easy for readers that have been reading for a couple of years but if your child is too young for that this book is great to read to them! The book is written in plan terms that kids can understand. Itrsquo;s a great way to introduce science facts to kids. Each book in this series introduced one particular aspect of science and portrays it in a way that makes kids want to learn more. I plan on recommending this series for the pre-K teacher at my sonsrsquo; school who loves to introduce the kids to science.The pictures are great and the facts that go with them kept my son interested for the entire book. My son and his friends loved listening to the book and learned about the alligators and crocs. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with kids that love animals.I received this book at a free or reduced price in exchange for providing an honest and unbiased review.Alligators and Crocodiles Fun Facts For Kids: Animal Encyclopedia for Kids - Wildlife (Childrens Animal Books)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is an excellent ebook for kidsBy rkreviewerThis is an excellent ebook for kids! As a teacher of elementary students; I would love to incorporate this ebook into a small group activity where I present a main idea or topic to the whole class and then they break up in small groups and discover more material on their own. My mind was continuously racing as I read through this book thinking of different projects I could make on this topic. It is the perfect age group to let them use a kindle to explore and what a better way to do so than with this ebook! I will totally let other teachers know of this opportunity and will keep this seller in mind with other ebooks available. I received this product free for reviewing purposes; however my opinions are all my own.
