description: A classic novel from the bestselling author of Moloka'i and HonoluluBefore Alan Brennert became a bestselling author of historical novels, he wrote this lyrical fantasy in the vein of The Time Travelerâ€s Wife. Part love story, part deeply affecting character study, it is a literary tour de force chronicling the parallel lives of two men who were once the same man--until, as the poet Robert Frost wrote, â€œTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood/And sorry I could not travel both/And be one traveler...â€Thirteen years ago, Richard Cochrane left his small New England town to pursue his dreams of an acting career.Â But on some other level of reality there is also a Rick Cochrane, who chose instead to set aside his dreams, marry the woman he loved, and raise a family. Today, neither man is happy with the choice he made--but as their lives, once separated by time and chance, now draw closer together, Richard and Rick are offered anotherÂ a last chance to discover â€œthe road not taken.â€Time and Chance displays the same vivid sense of time and place--and the vibrant, memorable characters drawn with compassion, warmth, and humor--that have made the authorâ€s historical novels national bestsellers and reading group favorites.
