If you've ever been to Newfoundland, you know it's a place where fog can envelop you so deeply, you don't know where you're going or where you came from.
When two men, born in the same rural Newfoundland hospital on the same day, discover an unbelievable 52-year-old secret, it changes the way they see themselves forever.
This isn't the end of the story. It turns out these men are not alone. A series of other close calls and near misses have begun to emerge, and not only at Come by Chance hospital.
Come By Chance is a story about what it means to belong in a family — and how a twist of fate can upend the life you thought you knew.
