How We Met: Chance Encounters and Other True Love Stories of Real-Life Couples

Every day, in every corner of the world, chance encounters bring together people who are meant for each other. As anyone who has ever fallen in love knows, few moments in life are more magical. How We Met is a treasury of these life-changing encounters. Real couples young and old share heartwarming stories of being brought together by seemingly blind happenstance—a missed appointment, a wrong turn, an unexpected phone call. The stories range from the profoundly simple to the simply miraculous—you'll read of people who discovered their loved ones by turning a corner, and others who had to traverse great distance and time. You'll be charmed by the awkward fumblings of first meetings, and you'll be moved by the undying pursuit of lasting love.


How We Met will remind you that every couple's story is special—including yours.
