About
Merry June Pigg is celebrating her seventieth birthday by ditching her sensible shoes, changing her name and running away from home. Since she retired from teaching, Merry June has dreamed of being a contestant on a popular television game show. Her audition video has been accepted and she’s ready to embark on the journey of her life. Certain her husband of fifty years wouldn’t understand, she leaves him a note and a freezer full of home cooked meals and sets off. Throughout her journey, she encounters a string of wonderful, weird and sometimes-scary characters that change the way she sees the world, and more importantly, herself. She learns that the glamour of the road and even Hollywood, is nothing compared to the people who love her and think of her as a star in her own right. M$. Fortune is the funny and poignant adventure of a woman who dares to defy the stereotypes of what it means to grow old. Merry June proves that aging with humor, compassion and a generous dash of courage is what it takes to be a real winner.
