Crossroads: Chance or Destiny?, the sequel to author Harry Samuels's highly acclaimedBeshert: True Stories of Connections, is an unexpected, intriguing, and memorable collection in which lives are not only impacted, but in some instances saved because they connected with the life of another. In ?A Match?, a daughter given up for adoption thirty years earlier unwittingly becomes a bone-marrow donor for the mother she never knew. In ?Herman and Roma?, a man discovers that he is on a blind date with a young girl who saved his life during World War II. In ?The Roll?, the marriage of a Muslim is saved by a rabbi employing Talmudic logic. Samuels uses his stories to encourage reflection on whether our life experiences are guided by reason and purpose or whether they are impacted solely by coincidence and laws of probability. ThroughCrossroads, he strives to increase our awareness of the synchronicities we each encounter in our daily lives and how they influence our choices. ?It is thought provoking?Beshert.'
