Suddenly an arm reaches down into the water and with one swoop pulls me and my bike out and lands me on dry ground. Stun and dripping with water, I saw a short homeless man standing there with his arm also dripping, dazed, I turn to look for my brother, he was gone unaware of what had happened to me. I turned back to thank the homeless man, but he was gone, disappeared into thin air. How could he have vanished so fast, I thought. I got on my bike and continued like nothing had ever happened.

About the Book
Richard Zakka’s story began in Aden, a British colony, during the 1950’s. At an early age, it occurred to him how every detail in life is so perfect. No accidents, even in what appeared to be an accident. As each snowflake is original in character and majestic in beauty, tiny in size, it will always fall in its perfect place on earth according to God’s perfect plan, a perfect “13”. He realized that all of life’s events are but steps to condition his evolution to perfecting his relationship with his Maker. When he was thirteen, his family moved to the US and began a new chapter. After studying civil engineering in Texas, Richard decided to move to New York and enroll at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and became an actor. After graduation, he was fortunate to land several roles in films and commercials. At the same time, to fulfill a promise to his father who was skeptical about an acting career, he started several businesses in the “Big City”. A whirlwind of marriage, family, filmmaking, and successful businesses were like snowflakes landing one after another, guiding his life path. Richard weaves a fascinating story that traces the arc of a creative entrepreneur’s career from one exciting endeavor to the next.
