Where Second Chances Begin

Where Second Chances Begin

Sometimes love takes the long way home.

Michael Holmes never expected to begin again. After a lifetime of steady work as a postmaster and a long, faithful marriage, his days have settled into quiet routine in York, England.

Abbie Payne once believed her future was already written. A retired teacher with a small garden and a house full of memories, she has learned how to live with loss, and how to find warmth in simple days.

When a shared table at the market brings them together, conversation comes easily. Memory returns slowly, and a friendship begins to grow into something neither of them expected. Sometimes the most meaningful chapters of life begin long after we think the story is finished.

Where Second Chances Begin is a prequel novella to The Lives We Choose series, a story about companionship, courage, and the quiet joy of beginning again.
