Lady Luck's Map of Vegas — Barbara Samuel

Forty-year-old India has a fabulously hip life in Denver and a long-distance lover in New York with whom she shares the perfect not-too-serious relationship. But when India's father dies, she must honor the promise she made to him: to look after her mother, Eldora, when he's gone.

Once upon a time, Eldora Redding regaled her daughters with tales of her glamorous days as a Las Vegas showgirl--stories of music and martinis at the Sahara, back when Frank and Sammy ruled the town. Now sixty- something and still larger-than-life, Eldora both intrigues and infuriates India, who is suddenly thrown a curveball when Eldora insists that they hit the road to search for India's twin, Gypsy, an artist who lives in the mountains of New Mexico. As mother and daughter sail down Route 66, India discovers stunning secrets from her mother's past, while Eldora must face a lifetime of troubling memories before she can put them to rest once arid for all.
