Description
What if your life changed overnight?
For Brian and Becky, the late hours of an early August night young love was irrevocably transformed into tragedy. In a story that declares the strength and resilience of those on the cusp of adulthood and represents all that young love can be; Accidental Happiness takes its reader on an emotional journey which explores every facet of love and loss.
The start of Brian’s senior year meant life was just as it should be for an eighteen year old about to realize his dreams. Yet only moments into his first soccer practice, despite barely catching a glimpse of the girl running through his peripheral, his world as he knew it stopped. What he never expected was for a new student to change his outlook on commitment, family, and finding the strength to fight for what you want from the people around you. His story progresses through the next nine months as he falls in love, questions the power of that love, falls out of faith with the meaning of family, and is ultimately forced to identify what he truly wants and needs in life, even if that is at the expense of losing those who mean the most to him, possibly forever.
Becky’s past year in Memphis was a roller coaster ride she had no recollection of boarding but never regretted living. Now on the brink of a college soccer career at her dream school, hundreds of miles away from family and the love of her life, freedom feels empowering. That is until the night her world gets ripped from her side. Waking up in the hospital the following day to find out Brian didn’t survive the accident; Becky is forced to pick up the pieces of life despite wanting to escape everything that meant something in her relationship. Throwing herself into a sport that has always provided a release, life’s circumstances soon make it impossible for her to even carry on with that last piece of herself. Over the course of her freshman year Becky finds that despite her loss, the issues which haunted Brian during their relationship did not die with him that night. Beaten down over and over again as she attempts to heal the heart broken on that dark night when two young people felt they could take on the world as long as they had each other by their side; Becky now has the ultimate questions to answer. Can anything be forgiven through love? How do you carry on when your foundation is continuously knocking you off your feet? What if it was all a lie?
