Every day people, living everyday lives, are sometimes caught up in a moment that defies the odds.Against All Odds is a collection of true stories that are weird, bizarre, surreal, ironic, wonderful, tragic, funny, and sad, and every one of them is true. This is not a book of records, and it is not a supermarket tabloid. Each story was published by at least one major news organization or wire service, and the source of every story is credited in the back of the book.Organized into eight chapters, the stories take readers through freak accidents, animal encounters, strange run-ins with the law, medical marvels, love and marriage gone sideways, sports oddities, and time warps, with a catch-all final chapter for the stories that defy every category. Along the way, the author adds short, witty commentary to stories that call for it, and lets the rest stand on their own.Perfect for trivia lovers, news junkies, and anyone who has ever said 'you can’t make this stuff up,' this book is a fun, quick-read companion to keep on the coffee table, take on the road, or share with friends.
