Ever consider how many events, actions, decisions, and just circumstances of chance occur for two people to meet, at just the right moment, where love is actually a possibility? It's a miracle any of us can find this, considering the obstacles and hardships in our paths. And yet we do, but how? For Ean and Cassie, everything from armed robbery to living on the streets, prostitution to drugs, and fear to loneliness confronts their journeys; and therefore, the world can appear unforgiving and even demoralizing. But, maybe it takes more than just determination to persevere. For both Ean and Cassie, one day a person may seem an enemy, an experience a failure, but yet it may take just that to get to where they truly are meant to be. Of the Fortunate Ones is the third book by fiction writer Aaron Holloway.
