Publisher's Synopsis
What's the secret to a second chance?
The ladies of small town Sweetgum, Tennessee would like to know. The town librarian can't believe it when her long-lost love turns up as the new pastor of the local church. He left her behind many years ago; can she forgive him and allow a second chance at love into her life? Two sisters have loved the same man for years, but one of them can't hide her feelings for her sister's husband any longer. Yet when a later in life health crisis looms, only one will be prepared to sacrifice everything for their loved one's happiness. A busy mother of three misses the connection she and her husband used to share. When she discovers she is unexpectedly pregnant, will it be the last straw for their already tenuous relationship? And a young dress shop assistant still dreams of a life beyond her small town, but what lengths will she go to to escape? Then the regular Friday night meetings of the women's knitting book club are disrupted by a new addition -- a neglected, surly teenager with more attitude than manners. Can their books and yarn, as well as their care for each other, craft a string of second chances for them all?
SWEETGUM SECOND CHANCE is a full-length standalone work of clean and wholesome women's fiction. It features relatable characters and a Southern small town we'd all like to call home. A basic shawl knitting pattern and a reader's group guide are included!
