By the author of Mesmerized, Accidents Never Happen … Or Do They? tells the story of 39-year-old Albert, a Puerto Rican amateur cruiserweight living in Chicago and married to a woman who can’t stand him.
By chance, Albert literally runs into Joey, a college sophomore who caused the death of his parents by bleeding the brakes of their car. This chance encounter leads to a chain reaction of murder and tragedy, love and adventure, mystery and romance, coming to terms with one’s sexuality, and learning the truth about oneself and one’s dysfunctional family.
Using flashbacks, changing times and voices throughout the book, the reader learns the backstories of the two main characters, and how others helped shape who these two men have become. Minimal sexual descriptions are interspersed throughout this attention-grabbing storyline, but not enough to cause one to keep the book out of the regular adult section of a library’s collections.
