“Edie—impressively voiced by Jane Oppenheimer as impeccably composed, often haughty—is determined to understand the 18-year-old cold-case mystery.… Jennifer Aquino convincingly captures Cleo’s vulnerable uncertainties.… Lauren Ezzo, who deftly imbues Alex with a steely control that’s just on the verge of breaking, is even more memorable as Alex’s ruthless mother.… Emily Lawrence voices Jemma and displays the broadest emotional range, energetically enlivening the dynamic politico. The dexterous quartet’s synchronized performances prove virtually flawless, ensuring that Steil’s ingeniously-plotted debut is a thoroughly expert production.”—Booklist (starred review)

“The unique premise of a DNA lottery had me hooked from the very first pages! Ellen Won Steil’s Fortune is an emotionally written tale demonstrating what happens when the power of a woman with the wealth and drive to find out the truth is pitted against three friends from high school with secrets to hide. The suspense culminates with the inevitable countdown to the DNA lottery.”—Georgina Cross, author of Nanny Needed, One Night, and The Stepdaughter

“With an irresistible premise that gets more unsettling by the page, Fortune is so much more than a random game of chance. Every ticket is a potential clue; every character has a fiercely guarded secret. You won’t be able to look away until the final name is drawn.”—Jessica Strawser, author of A Million Reasons Why
