by Francois Houle (Author)

All it takes is a second to change everything.

Mathieu Delacroix wanted a big family. Orphaned at the age of six and raised by his grandparents, he always felt something was missing. But he and his wife Lori-Anne were only able to have one child. For years, Nadia has been their world, but lately, she's pushing her parents away and they don't know what to do.

The more they try, the more Nadia pushes.

Then one winter afternoon while driving Nadia to dance class, Lori-Anne decides it's the perfect setting to have a serious discussion with her teenage daughter. But soon they are arguing and the weather is bad, and in one distracted moment, their lives are changed forever.

It Happened to Us is a beautifully written and true to life depiction of the struggle, the pain, and ultimately the healing that follows a devastating tragedy.

Perfect for fans of Emma Robinson, Kate Hewitt, and Nicholas Sparks.

Author Biography

François Houle's books can best be described as character-driven stories that explore the importance that love, family, and friends play in helping us get through the many imperfections and challenges that life has to offer. François grew up one of five boys so it's no surprise that family is a strong theme in his books. A lot of his inspiration for his first two novels "It Happened to Us" and "Beautiful Midnight" and his two novellas "We Became Us" and "Broken Hearts" came from the passing of his father in 2005. François grew up in a small town outside of Montréal, moved to Toronto when he was ten, and currently lives in Ottawa. An avid reader from a young age, he tried to create a comic book when he was twelve, penned hundreds of song lyrics as a teenager, and wrote his first novel in 1985, a sci-fi influenced by the novel Dune. Several horror novels followed, and although none of these books will ever be published, they were important in his development as an author. In 1985, at the age of 22, he graduated from college with a Programmer/Analyst diploma and then went into the ice cream business with his family, owning three Baskin-Robbins franchises for about 6 years. In 1991, he started his IT career which now spans 27 years, and from 2003 - 2017, he was a Certified Professional Résumé Writer and operated a part-time business writing résumés for professionals at all levels. If you'd like to get your free ebook copy of his novella "We Became Us" and to stay current with what he's working on, please visit his website at www.francoisghoule.com.
