Author Description

The notion that our lives could be unexpectedly transformed - even rescued - through the simple kindness of a stranger holds special fascination to nearly everyone. When that intersection of lives happens twice between the same two people - once under the faded hood of one of the most iconic cars in American history, the other amid a crowd of strangers at an airport 30 years later - it's a story that stands above the rest. An Intersection of Strangers tells the tale of two teenage boys - Scott and Greg - who develop an unlikely friendship during their quixotic quest to rebuild a broken-down '57 Chevy into a hot rod in the early '70s. Scott is strangely compelled to track down Greg 25 years later, only to ¬ nd his life ruined by mental illness and drug abuse.
