A Life Repurposedby Kevin Hansen
Synopsis
Jake was a man in his early 40’s, alone after the death of his wife, the love of his life. His heart, still heavy from her loss doesn’t have the ability to love anyone as deeply as he did her. In fact, his heart has completely worn out.
Jake was unaware of the chain of events that his decisions had set in place and the many lives that would be changed forever. Derek is a very quiet unassuming Hollywood star that Jake pulls into a very different spotlight. One that Derek would have never imagined being in, but one that acts more like a mirror, reflecting the light back on the lives of thousands of others.

Then one day after they had only been married for a couple of years. She was killed in an automobile accident. Jake didn't really talk much about it. But he was devastated and I don't think he ever really truly recovered from that. Everything reminded him of her....Book Inspirations
This story is probably one of my favorites to talk about especially in regard to its origins. One day out of the blue, my mind had for whatever reason, thought about my own experience of a marriage ending and walking back into a house, months later finding it completely empty. In my own morbid sense of humor, I thought, what would have happened had I died at that point in my life, and I had named Brad Pitt as the beneficiary in my will. What would a celebrity do with the odds and ends of my life that I had at that moment? The idea stuck and began to grow into a much more thoughtful story and series of events. It has become more of a story about life and the crazy places it takes us, and the unique chain reactions that we might never be aware of.
