Description
APARTMENT #4. CLUTTER. DEAD PLANTS. A MIRROR FACING THE BED. PLUMBING ON THE FRITZ. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
For Charlotte Nightingale, the question is will anything ever go right? Stuck in a rut, constantly repeating the mistakes that knock her down, what will it take to turn Charlotte’s life, and luck, around?
Enter Kwan, a mysterious stranger who secretly practices Feng Shui in Charlotte’s apartment. Will the ancient art of ”wind and water”—the Chinese philosophy of harmonizing people with their surrounding environment—change Charlotte’s life for the better, or is it all about to get worse?
A laugh-out-loud page turner, "Feng Shui and Charlotte Nightingale" is an enchanting contemporary fable and a captivating debut.
Charlotte Nightingale has the worst luck in the world. Every day is a bad hair day. Her boyfriend’s a snake, her job blows, and her own family seems to hate her.
For over 4,000 years, the Chinese have practiced the ancient art of Feng Shui, a complex body of knowledge that reveals how to balance the energies of any given space to assure health, love, and good fortune for people inhabiting it. The Chinese never met Charlotte Nightingale.
A handsome Chinese food deliveryman/Feng Shui master takes pity on Charlotte and breaks out every tool in his Feng Shui arsenal to bring her some modicum of happiness. It rocks her world all right. Charlotte’s life goes from bad to worse.
When everything comes crashing down and run-of-the-mill catastrophes pale in comparison to recent events, Charlotte unwittingly embarks on a great adventure during which she finds romance, a new wardrobe, bags of money and most importantly, herself.
Feng Shui and Charlotte Nightingale is the laugh-out-loud feel good book of the summer.
About the Author:
Pam Ferderbar was born and raised in Wisconsin, the only child of loving but quirky parents. She moved to Los Angeles, married the first man to see her fall off the turnip truck, wrote a short story that would later become Feng Shui and Charlotte Nightingale, began collecting stray dogs, divorced the man, fell in with a wild group of beachy goddesses, wrote a novel, and then moved back to Wisconsin where the goddesses wear long underwear and cheese hats and so do the men.

Advance Praise
“Feng Shui and Charlotte Nightingale is a fast-paced, hilarious rom-com of a romp that's not only laugh-out-loud funny, it touches the heart. I couldn’t help but root for Charlotte as her luck changes and, once a hot, neurotic mess, Charlotte metamorphoses into a woman she is proud to be – thanks in part to a handsome Chinese food deliveryman and some on-the-sly Feng Shui. In her debut novel, Ferderbar has created a lovable and relatable heroine in Charlotte. Add in the cast of wacky characters and smart-as-a-whip wit and Ferderbar’s comedic genius shines. Get ready for a wild ride. Get ready for Charlotte Nightingale.”

Cindy Guidry, author of The Last Single Woman in America.
Pam Ferderbar's debut novel Feng Shui and Charlotte Nightingale is the funniest book I've read in ages. Ferderbar's wit and quirky humor kept me laughing, while underdog Charlotte had me rooting for her. The ending is unexpected - and so so satisfying. I cheered for Charlotte!
