The Opposite of Serendipity is essentially a coming of "old" age story. Iantha embarks on her fifth decade of life, distant from her previous somewhat blissful quiddity of her hometown New Orleans.

The Opposite of Serendipity is essentially a coming of "old" age story. Iantha embarks on her fifth decade of life, distant from her previous somewhat blissful quiddity of her hometown New Orleans. As the door closed on many aspects of her old existence, Iantha encounters the world of tango, quite by happenstance, in her new environs of Washington D.C. Through tango Iantha develops lifelong friendships, including a brief yet oddly eternal "fairy" tale (not "fairy tale") romance with a young Brazilian, Gabriel. By living quixotically, Gabriel teaches her that there is poetry in an otherwise prosaic world. In her journey to retirement and beyond, Iantha experiences joy and love, in their many forms. However, it is in the misfortunes she confronts (those non-serendipitous events, if you will), that Iantha learns even more about love of an unearthly variety. The legion of earthly angels God placed in her path pulls Iantha through her most difficult times. Meanwhile, Gabriel reveals the secrets of the "drops of rain" (and other ethereal yet relatable tales) through his poetry. Iantha's musings on navigating both a "Happily" and an "Ever After" are often humorous, poignant, and authentic.
