These uplifting stories, set in the heart of England, focus on family life and the miracle of birth. In the title story, `Lucky Lady`, a trip with the children to see their granny is broken by dramatic events on a farm. The result is a beautiful brown foal - much to everyone`s delight! `Night Call`, the first long story and `A Long Wait` are linked by the appearance of a hospital visitor called Harry, a man with a dark past. His kindness helps a couple in middle age find fulfilment and happiness. `Bill`s Girl` portrays the agony of a mother at losing her daughter in a road accident, her descent into mental illness and her recovery to a fresh start through new motherhood. `Day Trip`, `The Children`s Stories` and `Happy Days` round off a thoughtful, carefully paced collection that touches on issues such as jealousy, body anxiety, Christian charity and the treatment of our elderly people. B C Collins has added five poems to her stories as an extra and thoroughly enjoyable bonus. Don`t miss them! Since her first novella, BC Collins has become widowed. To keep herself occupied and to do some good, she has begun knitting for a local charity. Lucky Lady is her fifth collection of stories.
