The Wishful Interpretation of Chaos

Résumé du livre

The Wishful Interpretation of Chaos asks a common question many people think about as they live their lives: Why do things happen the way they do? Is it because of fate?-are certain things just meant to be? Or are they just the result of random events amidst the chaos of the universe? After a seemingly chance encounter that at first only he is aware of, down-on-his-luck Billy Barker befriends a woman trying to overcome an unbearable tragedy and who clings to her belief that things happen for a reason to get herself through. But Billy isn't buying it. For him, things happen for no particular reason-they just do-even as he envies those who get comfort from believing otherwise. As their relationship grows, Billy and Kaitlyn's spiritual and intellectual views of the world clash-each thinking the other foolish and naive-even as they are inexorably drawn to one another and help each other cope with their respective burdens. In this humorous yet serious and philosophical tale, explore the question we all think about. What do YOU think?
