Only happenstance many years later alters that decision.Were life simply about the present and not unduly influenced by an evil family legacy, Samuel would not be drawn inexorably toward his destiny. It will require all his instincts and courage to bring the woman he loves beyond measure home safely.

Not a self-help book. Not a hand-holding Kumbaya singing, good-feeling therapy attempt. Not an effort to give evidence of expertise in anything other than failure.
