Thanks to a college softball scholarship, Ninah Faust escaped her upbringing as well, leaving eastern Kentucky's impoverished coal country for the quaint small town of Leland. Now a high school history teacher, she enjoys a laid back lifestyle, a close-knit circle of lesbian friends, and the Longdogs, Leland's minor league baseball team. Ninah knows better than to fall for newcomer Britt, whose plan is to get in, get rich, and get out. Britt knows better too, since the last thing she needs is a girlfriend in Kentucky. But fall they do--so which one will give up her perfect life for the other?

The Lucky Ones marks a return to the idyllic hamlet of Leland, Kentucky, where you're sure to run into the town's most prominent lesbian couple--Justine Hall and Carly Griffin, from The House on Sandstone.
