Victim of Circumstance

A collection of autobiographical vignettes, Victim of Circumstance is a meditation on love and loss, examining our perceptions of ourselves and how they shape the most important decisions of our lives. With humor and heart, Rappaport bounds across years and continents, searching for sense in life's heartbreaks, philosophical quandaries, chance encounters, and the occasional life-or-death misadventure.
