\nPaul Rever
e Williams’s inspirational story has fascinated historians for the simple
fact that his journey was so improbable. The orphan son of an African Amer
ican fruit-and-vegetable merchant\, he was repeatedly told he had no chanc
e of ever realizing his childhood dream of becoming an architect. And yet\
, he ignored the naysayers to reach the pinnacle of his chosen profession\
, while overcoming widespread discrimination throughout early- to mid-twen
tieth century America. The odds against him succeeding were enormous.

\nIt’s 1938 and women seeking a quick\, no-questions split from their husbands head to the “div orce capital of the world\,” Reno\, Nevada. There’s one catch: they have t o wait six weeks to become “residents.” Many of these wealthy\, soon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flying Leap\, a dude ranch that caters to their ev ery need.
\nTwenty-four-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before his family lost everything in the Great Depression\; now he’s earning an h onest living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing g ood looks—“Cary Grant in cowboy boots”—Ward thinks he’s got the Flying Lea p’s clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend everyth ing he thinks he knows: Nina\, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back f or her third divorce\, and Emily\, whose bravest moment in life was leavin g her cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno.< /p>\n
A novel about divorce\, marriage\, and everything that comes in be tween (money\, class\, ambition\, and opportunity)\, Better Luck Next Time is a hilarious yet poignant examination of the ways friendship c an save us\, love can destroy us\, and the family we create can be stronge r than the family we come from.
