A heartfelt and delightful treasury of real stories about how it´s never too late to change your life for the better

Second Chances is a hopeful and thoughtful compendium of anecdotes from people who have wanted another chance at something-and have taken it. It´s the big stuff like going back to college after the kids have grown up, as well as the little things like getting a judo belt when you thought you could hardly manage a push-up. The book collects the hopeful examples of people who found a leg up, another spurt of energy, a hidden talent, or even an untapped strength, sometimes with the unexpected help of friends or strangers. Combining the feel-good qualities of One Good Deed and the crowdsourcing methods of Like My Mother Always Said , Erin McHugh´s latest book is an inspirational guide about letting the future win over the past.
