Accidental Lives — Howard Reiss

Accidental Lives weaves together the lives of two strangers. Cole is a young man paralyzed in a motorcycle accident when a ninety-year old driver turns in front of him. Lou is an older attorney retained to represent Cole who was emotionally paralyzed as a young man when he lost his true love in a different but equally tragic moment. The stories jump back and forth in time between the present and the past as each of them tries to understand what brought them here. Both lives have been dramatically changed by unforeseeable events that make the lives they lead now Accidental Lives.
