"Second Chances" is a story of love, loss, and the special bonds we make in the least expected situations. Evie Barnes, an eighteen-year-old waitress from Roseburg, Oregon, lost her adoptive parents in a car crash when she was only ten years old. Following the tragic accident, her grandparents took over as her legal guardians. Eight years passed as she moved forward and grew, but unfortunate timing would see Evie's grandfather pass away just a few months before her graduation. Heartbroken, Evie and her grandmother continued onward, carrying with them the emptiness created by the void of her grandfather's passing.
Paige Bennett, a contract attorney, was on her way from Portland to Canyonville to attend a meeting, when, during a thunderstorm, her car broke down in front of a roadside diner. It just so happened that Evie was working at the very same restaurant. Paige becomes stranded, and as the weather worsens is forced to remain there for most of the day as she awaits the only nearby tow truck service to arrive.
Paige and Evie start talking, and before they know it begin striking up a friendship that will transform into a special bond, connecting an attorney and teenage waitress in ways they could have never known possible. Open the pages of "Second Chances" and join in a heartfelt adventure of inspiration, faith, and family. The exploration of Paige and Evie's friendship is a reminder that if one is willing to open up, even if it's with a complete stranger, an emotional gear might start turning within one's mind that could change their life forever.
