Lucky is a 1999 memoir by the American novelist Alice Sebold, best known as the author of the 2002 novel The Lovely Bones. Lucky describes her experience of being raped and beaten when she was eighteen in a tunnel near Syracuse University where she was a student, and how this traumatic experience shaped the rest of her life. Sebold has stated that her reason for writing the book was to bring more awareness to rape and rape survivors. The memoir sold over one million copies. Anthony Broadwater served 16 years in prison after being falsely accused as the rapist, and was released in 1999. He was exonerated in 2021 after a judge found serious issues with the initial conviction.
