Second Chances by Lincoln Cole is a page turner! I was hooked at the start. The title says it all, this book being about Second Chances. More than that, it's also about life, prejudice, racism, forgiveness. This story has a little of everything for everyone, including mystery. Filled with great, standout characters (some you may feel you know). I highly recommend this great novel & look forward to reading Cole's other books in the near future! (I received this copy in exchange for my honest review). ( )

I am thrilled that I won a copy of this great book through LibraryThing! I sat down to read it this morning and was finished only a few short hours later. It is a fast-paced, heartwarming story with a captivating storyline and great characters. I highly recommend Second Chances and I look forward to reading more books by this author! ( )

I received this book from LibraryThing and the author for an honest review. Many issues were presented, Abandoning youth, eternal hope abuse, drinking etc. But also survival, cold hard reality not willing to give up. I like most the connection to current day issues that face each of us who are striving to discover who we are. A challenging book on several levels.
Thank you! ( )

It is always nice to find a new author and their book just waiting to be read. I found myself so absorbed in the story, I read until I finished the book. It has depth, and really captures your attention. The story is about a family that is struggling to survive. One day the mom leaves home to do a very important errand that would change everything . Four months later we find her children fighting to stay alive , barely making it but not willing to give up. They keep hoping their mom will walk through the door , but they soon will have to face a hard reality.

There are several characters that make this story so powerful. The author has done an outstanding job of giving readers a story that may hit home for some. He doesn't sugar coat anything and tackles subjects such as race, abuse, alcoholism , and shame with a clear and concise story that gives you chills. The story is fiction, but it could easily be about you, your friend or even your neighbor. I appreciate the honest and raw emotions the characters had. We all want a second chance and this book will delve into the aspect of what happens when someone is given that chance. Thank you for a book that tackles subjects that are painful and gives readers an emotional ride that will make you cry, find hope and cheer for second chances. Don't we all want a second chance?
