This was such a good read!! An amazing story of Fate, hope, and destiny!!

James Kramer had dreams of being a surgeon. Ever since helping that young girl after the car accident that took the life of her mother, he knew that's what he wanted to do. But a skiing accident took that dream from him - the angel that came to his rescue never left his mind. After completing his residency, finding the girl of his dreams, and planning for the future, his world crumbles, sending James in to a downward spiral of destruction and self-pity. A chance meeting with a stranger will lead him on a path of healing. He'll soon discover that their meeting may not have been coincidence after all.

Lisa Schmitt is broken. The accident took more than her mother away from her. She'll never be whole - never be able to have a happy ever after. After all, who would want her? Because of what she went through, she decided she wanted to do something to help others cope with their losses as well. Become a psychiatrist seemed the logical thing to do. In her personal life, however, she's not having as much success. Several failed relationships under her belt, the last one being the straw that broke the camel's back, she just wanted to drown her sorrows for the night. Meeting James changes her life forever. As they get to know each other, they realize how their lives have intertwined, leading them to each other at the right time.

I loved how this story unfolded. Two virtual strangers, thrown together by tragic happenstance, until Fate decided it was time. Time for them to find each other and heal each other. It just goes to show you - time isn't linear. It's not one long straight line with tally marks at the important events. It's a beautiful, delicious, salty twisted pretzel - turning back on itself over and over. Enjoy the ride - the highs and the lows. You never know where a twist might lead you.

Great story!… (más)
