A Simple Touch of Fate

The defination of fate has many meanings such as the supposed force, a principal, or power that predetermines events. The inevitable events predestined by this force. A final result or consequence on an outcome. If anyone has read Greek and Roman mythology it reads of Fates the three Goddess Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, who control human destiny. It real boils down to what if. What if I took that train, what if I didn't stay late at work, what if the bus wasn't late? Arlene Uslander and Brenda Warneka have compiled a beautiful book of stories that are not only heart felt and touch home in a lot of ways, but are true also. They tell of stories of September 11th 2001 and I know anyone with any kind of emotion, felt that day. I am Canadian, remembering that day, I sat and watched as it happened with tears streaming down my face. Another story of being in the right place at the right time to lend a hand and save a life. One story of finding a biological parent years after an adoption, another on the Service men and women fighting in Iraq and how close they come to death and how brave they are still holding on with amazing faith, willpower and the love of a fellow human being. I have only touched on a few, but there are more than fifty stories in this wonderfully put togeher book that raised the little hairs on the back of my neck and touched my heart. I know it will touch the hearts of many readers. I strongly recommend this book for those who have become skeptical about life and need a reminder, and for those who do believe in fate, reading this book will only impress more deeply and enhance what you already believe. Also stop by the site, you are more than welcomed. The Book can be ordered through Amazon.com and other online bookstores, or directly from the publisher: The toll free is, 877-288-4737. International: 001-402-323-7800. The co-editors are also looking for more stories and can be contacted through the website. Excellent read!
