Fortune's Fool by Jane Sevier
Book One, The Psychic Socialite Series When her husband dies and leaves her penniless, a 1930s Memphis socialite becomes a fortuneteller, only to discover she has the true sight. It's 1933, and a fourth of all Americans are unemployed, John Dillinger grabs headlines knocking off banks, and FDR is in the White House, promising a New Deal for the country. Nell Marc-hand has never worked a day in her life. When her phi-lan-der-ing skunk of a hus-band sud-denly drops dead, leav-ing her with-out one red cent to her name, she lands smack dab in the mid-dle of the hard times she has only heard about in news-reels. Nell tries to find a job to sup-port her-self and the house-hold that depends on her, really she does. Her typ-ing is a dis-as-ter, she cuts off every call in her one day as a tele-phone oper-a-tor, and laun-dress leaves her back aching. There has to be an eas-ier way. A reluc-tant visit to pros-per-ous Joseph Cal-en-dar, her flighty mother-in-law's medium, per-suades Nell that there are for-tunes to be made in, well, telling for-tunes. As soci-ety for-tuneteller Madame Nelora, she is soon the toast of Mem-phis. But when a des-per-ate father begs Nell to find his daugh-ter, she has a true vision of the miss-ing girl. Ter-ri-fied that she's los-ing her mind, Nell turns to Cal-en-dar. She may sus-pect he's a char-la-tan, but he is the only man who can help her embrace her gift and the respon-si-bil-ity it entails. To find the girl-and unravel a secret from her own past-Nell must out-wit a cor-rupt banker and his gang-ster pals who will do any-thing to keep her hidden.
