Art and Marion Fowler are jobless and facing foreclosure, even as their marriage teeters on the brink. So what do they do? Head to Niagara Falls, book the bridal suite at the area's fanciest casino, and risk all at the roulette wheel. Another from the beloved O'Nan, who so sensitively makes the everyday hurts of everyday people real and important. This book will resonate profoundly in today's strapped environment; great for book clubs.
