Precious stones of luck, mined like gold, are worn as bringers of fortune. But luck breaks both ways. While the blue gems may grant advantage to those who wear them, their blessing is fickle and unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, good luck can turn to bad. We follow the life of a man who comes into possession of some powerful stones -- but the success enjoyed by the father goes awry when he tries to pass this luck onto his son. In alternating scenes between the two generations, \u003ci\u003eThe Bend of Luck\u003c\/i\u003e follows felicity's course, like an arrow, through a family's destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrother and sister artists Peter and Maria Hoey live on opposite coasts but work closely together.
