Some people meet at their best. Caleb and Josie meet at their worst, and it turns out to be exactly the right place to start.
Caleb Hendricks was raised in church by a grandfather who never missed a Sunday. Two years after a construction accident and a prescription that never should have run this long, he's estranged from his father, hasn't set foot in a church since his grandfather's funeral, and is one bad week from losing everything he has left.
Josie Rae Pruitt once had a nursing school acceptance letter and a plan for her life. Three years into an addiction that started with the wrong man and outlasted him by years, she has a sister who won't stop showing up and a mother who's run out of ways to keep trying.
They don't know each other yet. Their stories run on separate tracks, two rock bottoms racing toward the same rehab facility outside town, until the day their paths finally cross.
What follows isn't easy, and it isn't fast. It's a friendship neither of them expects, a goodbye neither of them means, and, months later, an unlikely reunion in the back row of a small-town church that neither of them saw coming. It's a courtship built on hard-won honesty, a plan for recovery that has to hold up against real temptation and real failure, and a faith that grows slow and reluctant instead of arriving all at once.
Second Chances is a story about grace that shows up before it's earned, about the difference between being fixed and being loved, and about two people learning that coming home is rarely a single moment. Usually, it's a choice you make again tomorrow, and the day after that.
A grounded, hopeful contemporary Christian romance about recovery, faith, and the kind of love that stays through the hardest truth. Closed-door romance, faith-forward, for readers who want their happily-ever-afters earned.
