Book Tease - "Lottery" by Patricia Wood

"Patricia Wood asks readers to experience life in an unexpected, sometimes uncomfortable, often humorous way. The consistent voice and emotional logic of the first-person narration anchors readers securely in Perry's world, gently prodding them to reexamine intelligence, capability, and at what point money affects society's perceptions. Lottery simply reads like a real story about real people in the best possible way, leaving readers with a memorable character whose voice and world linger in one's imagination." -- The Miami Herald
