The Miracle of Chance

This is the third novel in a series, following the stories and characters crafted in Miriam and Tato and The Retired Timekeeper. Whilst the earlier novels share no common thread, characters, place or time, The Miracle of Chance is a sequel to both, told through alternate chapters before melding into one story.

Hope and good fortune have eluded Miriam all her life. Faced with the aftermath of her father’s sudden death and tumultuous news that will change her life, can she reach out and grab the one chance to change it all?

With the turnaround in Tato’s fortunes, for the first time in his life the future looks bright and full of promise. But can his success continue as he navigates the opportunities and challenges that face his family?

Kerry Klineberg was born in Sydney in 1948, educated at Sydney University and moved to Melbourne in 1971, where he married. He has two children and two grandchildren.

His diverse career spanned the public and private sectors, from industrial relations to the arts and cultural sector. Common to all his employment was the development and advocacy of public policy.

His first two novels are completely different. They share no common theme, characters nor time and place. These distinct stories are not the stories of heroes, but of ordinary people, leading ordinary lives, battling their demons and extraordinary events they face along the way.
