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.
