Outrageous Fortune

Since fortune first smiled on Josie Tasker, her life as a singer turned actress has become such as dreams are made of. Then she turns forty, and a series of disasters strip Josie of everything. Does outrageous fortune favour the brave, the rogue or the saint? As Josie negotiates her maze of misfortune she discovers her real friends, a new life and unexpected love.

Outrageous Fortune retells a well-known Old Testament story. It can be read and enjoyed as a secular romance but it can also be read and appreciated as an analogy. Readers who wish to delve deeper will find it rewarding to compare not only the events in the novel, but also the attitudes of the key characters, with the original, biblical narrative.

About The Series
Every novel in the Boxed In series is an independent story in its own right and the series can be read in any order. Each novel is told from the viewpoint of the main character who is, in some way, 'boxed in'. Some characters also appear in other novels - which allows the reader to see them in a different light. Across the Boxed In novels, interconnecting lives build into a fascinating interplay of human choices and intersecting circumstances.
