How does the title relate to the book?
The title of the book is "The Lucky One" and even though they don´t mention those words more than once or twice in the novel, it has to do a lot with the story. "The Lucky One" refers to as a divorced woman who lived in Hampton County. But why is she the lucky one and to who? Well, it all started at a local ground fair, when Beth and her brother Drake were enjoying thier last weekend together before he went to serve the country as a marine. That day, Drake had taken a picture of Beth wearing a shirt that had the words "the lucky lady" printed on the front. Later, Beth, or Elizabeth, as he used to call her, wrote something at the back of the picture that said: "Keep safe! -E" and gave it to him so he could take it to Iraq. While Drake was at his tour in Iraq, he called her sister saying that he had lost the picture and requested another one. Before the new picture was delivered to him, he died. Later, another marine named Logan Thibault while taking his morning run, he saw something glimmer between the bushes. He got closer and realized it was a picture. For a long time, that picture was posted in a bulleting board while Thibault hoped that someone who might had lost it picked it up, but nobody seemed to own it. His friend Victor, told him to keep the picture because maybe it was meant for him to have it. While Thibault had the picture with him, he started to feel a sudden strike of luck, and he noticed this because everytime he won money at a poker game, or survived a dangerous event, he happened to have the photo in his pocket. From that moment on he decided to call the photo his "luck charm". Becuase the photo saved him from many attacks at Iraq, he decided to start a journey to find the woman in the picture and thank her becuase he felt that he owed her something. The lucky one was Elizabeth, beacuse she was a luck charm to Logan while he was at Iraq.
