Chance Bailey, 16, leaves home, poker winnings in his pocket, to look for his father in New York. "I had been in New York City less than twenty-four hours and I had already met my first Jew and my first artist...I'd met a Miss American who'd danced the fandango with the King of the Hottentots. Whether or not this had actually happened was still unclear...I'd met a Nobel Prize-winning author who'd be imprisoned in a gulag... And although I did not even know her name, I'd met a red-haired usherette at the Radio City Music Hall and fallen desperately in love." Chance comes of age in this complex novel of love, guilt, grief, and ultimate triumph.Lemoult, Dolph is the author of 'Running Horsemen', published 2004 under ISBN 9780974648101 and ISBN 0974648108.
