Christopher Chiarino “Unexpected Crossroads” Book Signing May 19 at Library Center

Author Christopher Chiarino will sell and sign copies of his first novel, “Unexpected Crossroads,” from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday, May 19, in the Library Center concourse, 4653 S. Campbell Ave.

When SD's daughter is killed by a drunk driver he flees the only place he as ever called home and in the process, leaves his wife and the memories behind. He is hoping to start over, or at least move forward, when he receives a letter from his estranged wife. In the wake of what the letter revels, SD finds himself even more lost and alone. It is at this lowest point, that fate, or providence, brings Lincoln Davenport into his life. Lincoln and his wife, Rebecca, are trapped in their overturned car just outside of SD's new home town. He quickly sees a chance for his own redemption, but fate holds a few more twists and turns that may bring an end to them both. In the midst of tragedy, grief, and near insanity they can find hope if they have the courage to face reality, and accept their need for each other.
