My Thoughts on More Than A Second Chance:

This book was such a good read.  It read a bit slow for me.  I’m used to breezing through books and devouring them in one sitting.  This book was not that way.

It has some tough topics like divorce and remarriage. You’re also going to see youth at risk.  It’s both a program and real youth at risk within the story.  Through this, there is talk of abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, sex, one night stands, drugs, and so much more.

All in all, this was a good book.  Set in Australia with all of the fun way of talking and landmarks.  Great for making me want to visit there someday.

I did find that it read slow.  I wanted to just skip ahead a few pages and see what else was coming.  The main character is a bit undeveloped personally.  Not that the author didn’t develop her but that she’s shallow.  You’ll later learn that this is intentional, but it put me off.  I did enjoy Chris and his character. I’d like to see a book about his past and who he is at some point.

The Youth at Risk program spoke to me and I love seeing books addressing this need.

What inspired you to start writing?

I’ve read many wonderful Christian novels of first-time love. Unfortunately, not all of us have experienced a strong lasting marriage. I’ve met many women who’ve had a husband turn away from their Christian faith and left the marriage. I want to encourage those women that God can restore what was lost with a faithful man.

My message is not to rush ahead of God’s timing. My characters are more cautious since they know life can throw unexpected blows. They learn to trust and open their hearts again, which takes time.

My first series tackles the central issue of divorce. More Than A Second Chance also addresses the challenges of infertility and grief. The story is wrapped around a new romance with plenty of humor and light-hearted moments to balance out the themes.
