Twist of Fate Radio

The Book That Changed the World… Almost Didn’t Happen Some stories feel inevitable — as if they were always meant to exist. This one wasn’t. Before it became a global phenomenon… before it shaped childhoods, classrooms, and popular culture around the world… this story lived quietly in notebooks and rejection letters. In the early 1990s, a struggling single mother believed in a children’s fantasy no one else seemed to want. Publisher after publisher turned it down. The manuscript was too long. Too strange. Too risky. And then, just when the story was on the verge of disappearing forever, fate intervened — not through a marketing plan or industry expert, but through a small, unexpected voice that changed everything. In this episode of Twist of Fate Radio, we explore how one near-miss decision could have erased an entire world before it ever existed — and how persistence, quiet belief, and one unlikely moment reshaped history. Because sometimes the biggest cultural shifts begin with the smallest choices. 🔗 Explore more stories at TwistOfFateRadio.com🎙️ For voiceover work, visit ClarkVOServices.com
