Coincidences & Consequences
by Banu Tülümen

---

Willow is a recently divorced woman of fifty-three. She believes she's too old to find love again, but then she meets Alan. Sparks fly between them, and Willow thinks that they have the potential for a loving relationship—when it turns out that Alan has been hiding something crucial from her. Distraught and betrayed, she tells him never to speak to her again. Alan respects her request and ceases to communicate with her. It’s not until twelve years later that they meet again by “coincidence”—in reality, it was a chance meeting crafted by mutual friends of theirs. But Willow is not the same woman she was twelve years before, having gone through an abusive marriage ending with the death of her second husband. And Alan himself has changed too, now a widower of ten years. For so long, Willow has believed herself unlovable: too old, too vulnerable, too much of a burden. But after meeting Alan again after all these years, chemistry is brewing between them once again. Now, Alan is looking for a second chance to make things right. And maybe, after all this time, Willow is looking for a second chance to prove she can love herself too.

Banu Tülümen is an abstract painter who once owned her own hospitality services company. This is her first novel, though she has published several children’s books, which she also illustrated. She writes Coincidences and Consequences to share Willow’s story, which has parallels with her own life experiences, and she hopes for readers to be encouraged to believe in themselves and grasp second chances in their lives. She currently resides in Summerland, British Columbia, with her two rambunctious dogs. She can usually be found either in her studio, taking care of her garden or in her kitchen, cooking traditional Turkish recipes with Canadian flair.
