When Destiny Chose Us

Description

If you believe in destiny — that some things in life happen not by accident, but because they were alwaysmeant to — this book is for you. If you believe that love, when it is patient and honest, deserves to be waited for, this book is for you. And if you believe that respecting one’s family, even when it costs you something you want badly, is not weakness but strength, this book is for you too. Read it, and watch how destiny quietly works its way through every character’s life, exactly as I believe it

does through ours. I did not write this as a stranger to the story. This is, in its heart, the story of my own life. It is my own experience of how destiny brought me to the love of my life, and how she chose, again and again, to respect her family’s sentiments even when it meant walking a harder road to reach me. Everything in these pages — the waiting, the silence, the small quiet gestures, the belief that the right thing would eventually find its way to us comes from something I lived through myself, before it ever became something I wrote.

I wanted to put it into words so that others who are waiting — for the right person, the right time, or simply for their families to understand — might find something of their own story in mine. Destiny does not always move quickly. But I have come to believe it moves surely, for those who stay honest to their heart and to the people they love.I hope this book stays with you the way this story hasstayed with me.
