As the heroine goes about her work at the Found Object Wind Chime Museum and Visitor Center, she eavesdrops on the meetings of various 12-step programs held there, listening to ""the anonymous people"" talk about hitting rock bottom and then gaining control of their lives through a Higher Power. The author's third-person narrative gently adheres to a child's perspective and reveals the warm relationship between Lucky and Brigitte. After her mother died, Lucky's estranged father asked his former first wife, Brigitte, to travel from France and act as Lucky's guardian. Patron's (Maybe Yes, Maybe No, Maybe Maybe) often poignant novel introduces 10-year-old Lucky, who lives in the California desert town of Hard Pan.
