Book Synopsis

A Novel of Second Choices, Second Chances
Emotion-Packed Fiction From a Bestselling Author

Stephen Whittaker had determined never to be like his dad, someone he considered a loser in every way. Stephen had distanced himself from those early years in Aberdeen, South Dakota, and it was working--an Ivy League education, a great job offer with a New York law firm, and an engagement ring and the proposal all worked out for lovely, talented Alice...

Losing Alice meant that everything changed for Stephen. Back in Aberdeen, he tried to pick up the pieces of his life again. He married his best friend and had a precocious, charming daughter. He went into business and was making big money. It looked like he had things back in hand.

The gradual downward spiral came so slowly he didn't see the signs--and then it was too late... Or was it? If only he could turn the clock back...

From the Bestselling Author of Coming Home and Co-Author of Sanctuary

Very early in life, Stephen Whitaker had determined he was never going to be like his dad, a loser in every way, as far as Stephen could tell. From then on, his goal was to distance himself from those early years in Aberdeen, South Dakota. And his efforts were paying off--top grades in high school, an ivy-league university, a great job offer with a New York law firm after he graduated...and he had an engagement rig in his pocket and the proposal all worked out for lovely, talented Alice...

Losing Alice was the event that changed everything for Stephen. Back in Aberdeen, he attempted to pick up the pieces of his life. He married best friend Donna, and they had a precocious daughter with whom Stephen immediately bonded. He went into business with his high school buddy, and it looked like he had things back in hand.

The gradual downward spiral began so slowly that Stephen wasn't paying attention as his life started to spin out of control. And then it was too late...Or was it?

An Unexpected--and Undeserved Crossroads.
Which Route Will Stephen Choose?
