When it rains, it pours—or so it seems in and around the small town of Dalton, Iowa. Sometimes, destruction accompanies the rain. The same can be said of passion. In Lisa Smelter's latest book, A Second Chance for Happiness, readers are treated to not one, but three, love stories. That is indeed a downpour of high interest, affection, and heartbreak. Carlos Santos, one of Lisa's favorite characters, makes a surprising return. He plays a key role in the lives of Dalton's residents; one in particular is the widowed Jenny. Meanwhile, the formerly engaged Shaun and Trish can't seem to solve their dilemma. However, a storm tosses them together, and they get a second chance for happiness. Will they take it? The good neighbors of Dalton need a scorecard to keep track of the possible marriages in town. Will a high school infatuation evolve into the perfect romance for a beautiful shy woman with a slight imperfection and a humble hunk of a man whose loyalty may cost him the love of a lifetime? Mary and James will take readers along their journey to discover the answer. This is the Iowa connection to those memorable characters in Lisa Smelter's highly popular Love in Litton series.

What do you do when you are haunted by a fashion-conscious ghost? Sameera, a novice ghost, is about to become an angel. But before she gets the promotion, she needs to complete a rather nerve-racking assignment. She has to help Roshni find her path again. Roshni has just shifted into her new home as she wants to get some semblance of order back in her life. But now, she is being hounded by a gorgeous ghost, who makes snide comments about her dressing sense (or the lack of it) and keeps trying to set her up with her dishy-looking neighbor, Karan. However, she is wary of falling in love again, of losing again. Karan fell in love with Roshni the day she fell in his arms. He understands her hesitation and is content to remain friends with her, though he still has to deal with the evil eye her gay best friend keeps giving him. To make matters worse, there is a beautiful young ghost who keeps popping up at the most inappropriate times, pushing him to let Roshni know his true feelings. As Sameera tries to play Cupid, she faces resistance and hesitation from all parties concerned. Will she be able to complete her assignment? Will she get that promotion? Will she be able to convince Roshni to give love, life and happiness a second chance?
This is Eric Morris’s ninth book. However, unlike the others, this one is not about acting or just for actors. This book is for everyone. Eric’s other books are based on a system that he expanded and modified, as he innovated techniques and approaches to free people from obstacles and emotional blocks that cripple their ability to experience and express their emotions freely. An actor himself and a teacher of acting for almost sixty years, Eric Morris has created hundreds of exercises and techniques that eliminate the years of damage that we in our society have become victims of. Because of his unique approach to the teaching of actors, his process has evolved into an incredible set of tools that miraculously work to free all people from the damaging experiences that have accumulated in their lives. The focus in this book is on finding those damaging experiences and, by using the specific approaches that Eric has created, repairing the damage so as to enjoy a life of happiness and success.
Remarkably simple ways to turn your mistakes into opportunities, and open your life to lasting confidence, happiness and success. A Second Chance at Success is unlike other self-help books. It goes deeper by showing you how to strip away the layers of lies that stop you from succeeding. Illustrations, exercises, practical tips and anecdotes highlight Rob White's unique, unusual and bold philosophy.
A charmingly quirky seaside town offers a recently separated restauranteur a fresh start and possibly a new lease on love in A Season for Second Chances, by the author of The Twelve Dates of Christmas. Annie Sharpe’s spark for life has fizzled out. Her kids are grown up, her restaurant is doing just fine on its own, and her twenty-six-year marriage has come to an unceremonious end. Untethered for the first time in her adult life, she finds a winter guardian position in a historic seaside home and decides to leave her city life behind for a brand-new beginning. When she arrives in Willow Bay, Annie is enamored by the charming house, the invigorating sea breeze, and the town’s rich seasonal traditions. Not to mention, her neighbors receive her with open arms—that is, all except the surly nephew of the homeowner, whose grand plans for the property are at odds with her residency. As Christmas approaches, tensions and tides rise in Willow Bay, and Annie’s future seems less and less certain. But with a little can-do spirit and holiday magic, the most difficult time of her life will become…a season for second chances.
A former parole officer shines a bright light on a huge yet hidden part of our justice system through the intertwining stories of seven parolees striving to survive the chaos that awaits them after prison in this illuminating and dramatic book. Prompted by a dead-end retail job and a vague desire to increase the amount of justice in his hometown, Jason Hardy became a parole officer in New Orleans at the worst possible moment. Louisiana’s incarceration rates were the highest in the US and his department’s caseload had just been increased to 220 “offenders” per parole officer, whereas the national average is around 100. Almost immediately, he discovered that the biggest problem with our prison system is what we do—and don’t do—when people get out of prison. Deprived of social support and jobs, these former convicts are often worse off than when they first entered prison and Hardy dramatizes their dilemmas with empathy and grace. He’s given unique access to their lives and a growing recognition of their struggles and takes on his job with the hope that he can change people’s fates—but he quickly learns otherwise. The best Hardy and his colleagues can do is watch out for impending disaster and help clean up the mess left behind. But he finds that some of his charges can muster the miraculous power to save themselves. By following these heroes, he both stokes our hope and fuels our outrage by showing us how most offenders, even those with the best intentions, end up back in prison—or dead—because the system systematically fails them. Our focus should be, he argues, to give offenders the tools they need to re-enter society which is not only humane but also vastly cheaper for taxpayers. As immersive and dramatic as Evicted and as revelatory as The New Jim Crow, The Second Chance Club shows us how to solve the cruelest problems prisons create for offenders and society at large.
When Maggie's owners leave her behind, she is taken to an animal shelter.
Everyone deserves a second chance. Nate and his teenage daughter need a fresh start, so they move back to the village where he grew up. Nate's transgender, and not used to disclosing his history, so it's hard living where people knew him before. When Nate reconnects with Jack-his best friend from school and unrequited crush-his feelings return as strong as ever. Jack's returned home to get his life in order after an addiction to alcohol caused him to lose everything: his job, his driver's licence, and nearly his life. He's living with his parents, which is less than ideal, but rekindling his friendship with Nate-or Nat as Jack once knew him-is an unexpected benefit of being back home. Jack is amazed by Nate's transformation, and can't deny his attraction. Trying for more than friendship might ruin what they already have, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. Doubting his feelings are reciprocated, Nate fears he's risking heartbreak. Jack's reluctance to tell his parents about their relationship only reinforces Nate's misgivings. With both their hearts on the line and their happiness at stake, Jack needs to make things right, and Nate has to be prepared to give him a second chance.
