Summary

There are no coincidences; everything happens for a reason....

Based on actual events, Unexpected is the inspirational story of one woman's journey from grief to wonder during an extraordinary week in August. It's a story about a remarkable friendship and a heart-wrenching loss, family secrets, finding friends in random places, and the ripple effect of the choices we make....

Finch and Georgie grew up in Casablanca, Morocco, and now live an ocean apart, but their friendship has survived the trials of life and breath of time. One night, Finch dreams that her childhood friend is unwell. When she learns that Georgie is hospitalized in Spain, she packs her bags and immediately boards a plane in Miami bound for Malaga. Minutes after arriving at the hospital, Georgie dies in her arms, leaving behind a twenty-year-old daughter....

During the next week, a series of unexpected events occur, including the meeting of strangers and chancers, that will profoundly affect Finch's life and those of others: Georgie's young daughter, Sasha, who hears her father's voice for the first time the day her mother dies; the charismatic young bartender who fled Morocco for a new life in Spain; the mystifying wise nomad who sells trinkets on the beach and bequeaths invisible gifts....

Out of the blue, life has sent Finch on an emotional and trying path that led to a journey for self-discovery and ultimately brought her to a beautiful destination: home and a new way of being....

This moving and uplifting story reminds us that life's most pivotal moments sometimes come in unexpected ways, at unexpected times, and if we only open our minds and our hearts and welcome the unexpected, miracles will happen....
