Shit-for-Luck Memoirs recounts stories from the life of the author and self-proclaimed poster child for Murphy's Law, L.A. Telgen. Experiences that she equates with just plain bad luck include caring for her aging parents, personal health challenges, and car problems, just to name a few. Convinced that she is a magnet for bad luck, as it seems to never end, her mantra is, "What can go wrong will go wrong, especially in my world."

Adult readers will readily resonate with and relate to these everyday frustrations along with the author's laugh-out-loud hilarious reactions to them.
