Roxane Orgill, author of "Dream Lucky: When FDR was in the White House, Count Basie was on the radio and everyone wore a hat...," is a music critic and author of books for children and young adults. "Dream Lucky" is her first book for us older folks. And a unique book it is... a riff on the politics, sports, religion, painting and music of 1936 to 1938. Reacquaint yourself with the likes of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Max Schmeling, big bands, Jacob Lawerence, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart and many others.
