Luck is No Lady
Rose Hansen and Alice Harding meet at a bingo game and soon form a friendship bonded by their love of gambling. Convinced of the role luck plays in gaming, the women become financial partners and seek their fortunes in the casinos of Edmonton. The journey to their goal is filled with adventures, intrigue and heartbreak as they learn whether Lady Luck will control the outcome or whether they will determine their fates by their own actions.
Based on a true story, the author tracks the experiences of the two women as they become more and more addicted to gambling. Some of their observations during the games in the casinos are astounding. It is mind boggling for Rose to sit next to a man as he wins $7,000.00 with one turn of the cards. It is horrifying for Alice to realize that a young man lost a $100,000.00 legacy in only three weeks.
The women form relationships with fellow gamblers that are cordial but at
the same time guarded. Alice spends a fortune to maintain a friendship. Rose
finds that she is popular with new friends as long as she is lucky at the table
games. Through it all, the two remain partners until a final confrontation
splits them apart forever.
