Although the idea intrigues me, I have rarely come across a book of alternative history that kept my attention. Some days, though, the other "what-if" comes to mind.
What if my birthfather had not stopped off for a drink on his way home from work that day he died in a car accident?
What if I had not connected in 1987 in Toronto with a man possessing both Canadian and American citizenship and had not moved back to America and to this city?
What if I had not replied to an online contact, sight unseen, because I laughed, back in 2007 and my heart had never been avalanched by B?
What if I had not timed my departure from salaried administrative life and onto dependence on a cash only private practice at the precise moment in 2008 when the economy had its worst turn since the Depression?
What if I had been the kind of guy who never wondered, "What if?"?
