Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith                   Audio Book: 10 hours       Hardback Book: 432 pages                          Genre:  Y Fiction   Lottery  Ticket  Friendship  Romance  

This story was fraught with so many possibilities for things to go wrong.   And throughout many predictable things did just that but a lot of good happens, too.    A cautionary tale in being mindful when giving a lottery ticket as a present.   Either sincerely give it with all good wishes and no strings or spell out what you expect if there is a win involved before they call the numbers.   Money does have the power to lure people to think and do many things when they are hit with a windfall and it can stretch out to affect those around them to react in significantly differing ways.   It is best to remember who your friends are when you have nothing so when those fake people come around when you are riding high you know and remember the difference.    Well done.   It was a likeable story.   A close up of what greed can do and how it can change people but also a nice vision of those with good hearts trying to make a better world with their time and talents.   Cash can be a blessing or a curse it all depends on your heart.
