\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.

\nPatrick J. Watson was born in 1876 to his parents\, C olonel James Alexander Watson of Scotland and Maria Dolores Dominguez on t he old Manual Dominguez Rancho\, which encompasses much of present day cit ies of Torrance\, Wilmington\, Compton\, Carson\, San Pedro and the South Bay area of Los Angeles. This was the first Spanish land grant in CA from King Carlos of Spain. Patrick Watson was the vice president of the Watson Land Co and in 1923\, he sold his share of the original Rancho property to The Pan American Oil Company which was a subsidiary of the Doheny Company . In the mid-1920s\, Patrick Watson & his wife\, Miss Mamie O’Farrell of S an Francisco\, were looking to move off of the original Rancho property an d decided to build a new home for themselves in the fashionable and develo ping area of Hancock Park.
\nPatrick hired the notable Architectural firm of Hunt & Burns to design his new family estate on a large double ac cess lot located on a prominent corner in the new district of Hancock Park . During their tenure together\, Sumner P. Hunt and Silas R. Burns built some of the most beautiful buildings in the Los Angeles area including: < a href='https://digital.lib.washington.edu/architect/structures/5029' targ et='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'>Automobile Club of Southern Californ ia\, Headquarters – 1921-1923\, Children’s Hospital\, Los Angeles – 19 10\, The Wilshire – Ebell Club\, Cl ubhouse – 1926-1927\, Los Angel es Public Library\, Vermont Square Branch – 1913\, McKinley House\, Lafayette Park\, Los Angeles\, CA – 1 917\, Scripps College\, Claremo nt\, CA – 1929\, The Los Angeles Tennis Club – 1927 and The Wilshire Country Club – 1919.
\nFor his new home\, Patrick Watson would enlist the services of the Sweden-born master builder C.J. Nordquist who had a well-deserved reputation for buil ding some of the grandest homes and public buildings in Los Angeles.

\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.
