The Theory of Opposites by Allison Winn Scotch
Fate. Some believe that one's destiny is written long before birth. Others contend that free will allows us to choose the path that becomes life's journey.
Willa Chandler-Golden has no complaints about her preordained life; solid marriage, a rising career, and continued hopes that she and husband Shawn will start a family soon. Growing up in the shadows of famous father, Oliver Chandler, Willa and her siblings seldom doubted this theory of fate. After all, he wrote the best-seller, "Is It Really Your Choice? Why Your Entire Life May Be Out of Your Control." Millions of fans worship him, this guru that inspires millions of readers to accept what life offers, no questions asked.
However, Willa's life soon throws her a curve. She is fired from a bright, promising job, and the solid relationship she took for granted with Shawn, disintegrates. He proposes a two month break with no strings attached, her precocious twelve-year-old nephew moves in, her brother is indicted in a Ponzi scheme, and an ex-boyfriend, the one who got away, resurfaces. Complications that prove to be unsettling. Best friend Vanessa then suggests that she and Willa co-author their own book and appear on a reality show, challenging everything Oliver Chandler has ever written. She dares Willa to ponder the theory of opposites; instead of always listening to your instincts, do the exact opposite. "Write your own map" instead of following the one handed to you. Words that inevitably change Willa's life in ways she never envisioned.
Written by a favorite author of mine, Allison Winn Scotch once again captures the reader's attention by addressing a subject that resonates with many; taking chances, overcoming insecurities, and daring ourselves to become masters of our own fate. The author creates realistic characters with the same flaws, hopes and dreams we all have-it is easy to see this book becoming a movie that actress Jennifer Garner will produce. Thought-provoking with humor, it is a novel about decisions we make every day and the regrets that often accompany those decisions. " Asking yourself why you didn't know better when the answers were so obvious all along."
Changing the course of life and not always accepting fate...anything's possible.
