How he quit drinking and found his Higher Power. Her ear near a hole in the paint-chipped wall of Hard Pan’s Found Object Wind Chime Museum and Visitor Center, she listened as Short Sammy told the story of how he hit rock bottom. Lucky Trimble crouched in a wedge of shade behind the Dumpster. Married to a rare book restorer from the Champagne region of France, Susan is working on the final book in the 'Lucky' trilogy.
