Thank you for continuing the journey. Those of you familiar with my first romantic work of fiction, "How Far We Have Come" will recall sisters Lee and Emily Davidson, their series of life trials, the hardships they faced; and the friends and love they found along the way. As that first tale came to its eventual end, we were left to wonder what would become of the new friends we had met and grown fond of. Fortunately, "For Everyone, Someone" followed shortly thereafter. This second novel introduced characters who impacted us with their own life stories. It followed Lee and Brett, Lynn and Chris...
Thank you for continuing the journey. Those of you familiar with my first romantic work of fiction, "How Far We Have Come" will recall sisters Lee and Emily Davidson, their series of life trials, the hardships they faced; and the friends and love they found along the way. As that first tale came to its eventual end, we were left to wonder what would become of the new friends we had met and grown fond of. Fortunately, "For Everyone, Someone" followed shortly thereafter. This second novel introduced characters who impacted us with their own life stories. It followed Lee and Brett, Lynn and Chris, and Patrick and Emily. But it also introduced us to Michelle and Rick, to Margarida and John, and to Harold and Heather. We learned of Michelle and Margarida's compelling story. We touched on stories of selflessness, and we witnessed families torn by violence and the loss of loved ones. But through it all, we discovered that no matter the trials, that life still has promise. I now present "Second Chances." It is the third in the Clairemont series, and it continues to follow the characters we already know and love. But we also meet Jenna, who is drawn by destiny to Hal and his young daughter Heather. We meet Jake Warren, school principal, and we re-visit Karen and her young son Bobby. Last, but not least, we touch back to Lauren Hunter, a single mom introduced in "For Everyone, Someone", and we meet Mike Russell, a fifth grade teacher. "Second Chances" is a continuing message of hope, to those who have struggled with violence and loss. It focuses on the victims who persevere when life hands them lemons. To those who are going home to an empty house. To those who are trying to raise a family on their own and may sometimes feel that it's just too hard. Life can get better. Love can be out there. And, if you are really lucky, you may find your second chance. This story is set in the small town of Clairemont, Connecticut. I have used a modern timeframe that takes us from 2009 through 2011. Please note that the town, characters, and events are not real, and any resemblance to actual persons or places is unintentional. "Second Chances" joins the others in this Clairemont series in being relevant to our time as well as through the ages. You may remember that we have already given tribute to those in law enforcement, child protective services and trauma counseling. But there are many adults who are not trained professionally, who have to cope on a daily basis and be strong for their kids. This is for them. Now, please sit back and enjoy the journey.
