With a childhood spent in Hollywood, a father who is beloved by the entertainment elite, and all the shiny things money can buy, Carol Sorkin Hunter's life should be a fairy tale…right?

Yet the shadows that lurk behind Hunter's life mean she’s living in a nightmare she alone truly understands. A freak experience at a young age triggers a personal journey she could never have predicted.

As Hunter navigates the dark corners of the human experience—slipping into the murkiness of hopelessness and the terrifying realm of poverty—she realizes she has no idea where to turn.

A Divine Accident is the touching and inspiring true story of one woman's refusal to give up on herself when the world around her seems to have already done so. As she finds love and grace, Hunter slowly and surely begins to finally discover who she is.

With a heart full of unshakable faith, determination, and resilience to discover herself, Carol Sorkin Hunter uses her own experiences to inspire others. A Divine Accident: A Memoir of Life, Love and Learning reminds us all that the true fairy tales in life are often the ones we write ourselves.

Faith and Prayer Produce a Hollywood Ending

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

As a young girl, Carol Sorkin moved with her family from New York to Los Angeles. There, her father, Barney, made a name for himself as the preferred band leader for elite Hollywood parties and occasional work on movie soundtracks. Sadly, despite the family’s good fortune, Carol became the little girl lost, sometimes overlooked by her busy parents and unable to fully achieve her father’s dream that she become a successful musician. At times, pacified by cookies and candy, Carol developed a sugar addiction that contributed to weight gain and low self-esteem. Although her passion for painting and calligraphy eventually distinguished her as a talented artist, two marriages ended badly, the second leaving her as the single mother of twin girls. Setback s fed her addiction for sweets and the self-doubt it fostered. At a critical point, she learned of a nondenominational organization that advocated faith in God and the power of prayer. Slowly, she began to turn her life around and then, by sheer coincidence or divine accident, she met a successful labor lawyer from Michigan who was in California on business. Before long, they fell in love and, after a cross-country romance of many months, eventually married. Carol Sorkin Hunter skillfully chronicles, with impressive detail, the events of what might have been a charmed childhood amid the glitz and glamor of Tinseltown but became instead a life plagued by depression and disappointment. Her book, A Divine Accident, offers a blueprint for how faith can triumph over adversity.

About "A Divine Accident"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Carol Sorkin Hunter takes her readers on a journey from Eastern Europe through London, New York City, Beverly Hills
California and eventually to Beverly Hills Michigan.
From a fairy book life in Beverly Hills California Carol shares truths regarding her food addiction and loss of self esteem which causes her to make several poor decisions.
Sometimes in life we learn that in order to become our "Best Self", much soul searching is needed. Such is the case in
Carol's story.
Inspired by her "Girls, her "Husband Ian" and her "Spirituality", Carol journeys into a life highlighted by a period of enlightenment that allows her to develop and share a new awareness with others who may, as she once did need healing.
Reading "A Divine Accident" is like sitting down and having an afternoon chat with Carol. Her book extends that chat in an easy and conversational tone.
In addition to being an accomplished Author, is also a remarkable expressionist Painter. One of her works titled
"The Crucifixion" is housed in the "Kennedy Center" permanent collection.
With the publishing of this work, Carol may now add the title "Inspirationalist" to her list of professional accomplishments.

Heartwarming tale of happily ever after

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a heartwarming story of a woman with an artist's sensibilities who faced challenges that will be all too familiar to many: the pressures of a looks-centric culture (amplified in Hollywood) which drove self-image issues, particularly with weight; divorce and single parenthood foisted upon a talented artist with little practical experience in providing for young children... subjects that touch thousands upon thousands of women. Carol Sorkin Hunter was able to overcome her issues, and in doing so, meet her Prince Charming, living happily ever after. A deeply spiritual woman, Hunter is driven to share her steps to success with others, hoping to inspire them to reach for their own goals. This is an uplifting book, and well worth the read.

What a journey & page turner.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book should be made into a movie! It's not only an interesting glimpse of a child surrounded by Hollywood celebrity; but it reminds us all that even with a life of privilege, it won't protect us from our personal struggles. As Carol Hunter comes of age, she takes us with her on a life journey with some interesting true-life characters around the globe. This descriptive memoir allowed me to get inside her thoughts and feel like i was right alongside her, as though i were living some of these experiences myself. This fascinating story took an inspiring turn with a transforming spiritual discovery that kept me glued to the last page!

Something for Everyone

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

It is not often that a friend of yours writes a book and has it published. It is a difficult thing to do,but when the book is actually worth reading, that is a MARVEL.
Carol's book grabs your attention and the story carries you quickly along on an interesting adventure through her childhood and early adult life
There is something for everyone in this book as she overcomes sugar addiction and several other unfortunate obstacles that could have destroyed many; but her belief in the power of prayer and a strong mind is the Divine Accident.

A work of art

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book touches you in ways unexpected. This memoir is deeply moving and powerful but in a way that is relatable, which not all memoirs can do. It reminds us all of the power of the human spirit to persevere and overcome challenges. It reinforces that life is a journey and your perspective and approach can enable you to sail through the choppy waters to a calmer bay. I am grateful to Carol for sharing this with the world. This book is inspiring and a true work of art.

Books that reveal secrets and real life challenges resonate with anyone living in this day and age. So many of us fail to move forward because results don't come quickly or easily. The Divine Accident is an inspiring book about perseverance, patience and faith, and a steadfast belief in our ability to overcome and achieve whatever it is we dream of becoming. Its so nice to finish a book and feel good about a life that is possible for all of us.

The story of Carol Sorkin Hunter was written so delicately and beautifully. From the beginning it clutches you in a fashion that you just can't put down the book.
Her sensitivity that she acquired from all her life learning's is something we can all become skilled at.
Her discoveries about herself took time, but somewhere in her sole she had some sort of patience that kept her going. No matter your gender, this book is a must read
