What Best Friends Do

A Novel

Tom Simmons, the thirty-five-year-old manager of the family hotel in San Francisco, has to fly back to his hometown of Chicago for the annual family business meeting. Little does he know that this flight will begin a series of embarrassing, comical, and life-changing events. Julie Evers, an attendant working on the same fateful flight, finds her life forever changed as a result of her interaction with Tom. For reasons neither of them understand, their paths continue to cross numerous times both in Chicago and in San Francisco, much to their mutual dismay. But despite some awkward and, sometimes, disturbing encounters, and against Julies stubborn objections, a relationship gradually takes seed and turns out to be exactly what both Tom and Julie need. I hope you will join me in this humorous, rocky, and unpredictable journey to happiness. Learn how Tom and Julie, thrown together repeatedly at the most inopportune times and often under the worst possible circumstances, still somehow find love. And even more to their surprise, they find that they are exactly the person designated to fill each others gaping emotional voidselected in a way even more surprising and unexpected than their implausible relationship.
