Second Chances

About the Book

Second Chances

Based on a real person’s life, this short story was birthed from one simple desire.  Gnawing at a heart for years, an unspoken and deep ‘what if’ weighed heavily, until it finally was voiced. Inspired by deep love and commitment to someone important, this story explores the ultimate sacrifice a person could pay. Coupled with factoids on mental disorders, the notes found throughout the short are meant as both secondary storytelling elements, as well as a knowledge boosters to help the reader understand certain signs for their own benefit.
