"Unexpected Places is most definitely a page-turner."
"Williams intertwines past and present, devotion and heartache, in a metaphoric story centered on Ronan Byrne and Emily Walton, two fractured individuals who come together on a bridge in New York City in December 1968, moments before Ronan plans to take his own life. Emily, recovering from a devastating accident, becomes the unexpected savior for Ronan, who is mourning the death of his beloved wife, Carrieann. The supernatural force responsible for uniting the pair later drives their separation, though their subconscious bond remains unbreakable.
The bridge Ronan and Emily meet on serves as a powerful image for their relationship throughout the book, symbolizing connection and the joining of past with present-and illustrating how love can transcend any challenge. Their initial joining is ripe with both spiritual and existential tokens, and, though Williams later shifts the narrative to 1975-where Ronan is managing a business alongside his sister Michelle while Emily runs the Safe Haven Clinic, providing mental health services to veterans and underserved individuals-the pair's bond endures, tested over decades as buried histories resurface and threaten to untangle the delicate threads of destiny that bind them.
Williams (author of Unexpected Places) seamlessly blends genres, delivering a romance that is achingly tender and realistic, paired with mystery and suspense elements that add welcome tension. The narrative culminates in the COVID 19 era, where the supernatural force unveils itself in a poignant twist of fate that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Ronan and Emily's journeys illuminate how individuals can find purpose and make a difference in a constantly changing world, making this a thoughtful exploration of personal and societal transformation. . .the enduring love story between Ronan and Emily will keep readers engaged. Ultimately, this deeply emotional and socially conscious fiction is a testament to the power of love."
