Last Chances Judith Bartow

Is there still time? Do I have a last chance after all? These revealing stories introduce you to characters of a certain age, without regrets but with those lingering questions. Meet... Scott, once the golden boy who always seemed to have everything except the one thing he still needs most of all. Can he finally find a way to feel like the hero everyone seemed to expect him to be? Sam, who cherishes a dystopian view of himself. Can he risk discarding that perception for a shot at redemption by daring to love someone? Lacey, who depends on a succession of affairs to feel complete. Can she take from a new and unlikely friendship the courage to defeat the dangers of the way she has been living her life? Emily, who has a mysterious encounter with the lost love of her youth. Can she learn the lessons of her past in time to accept the happier reality of who she has become? Ben, who had his own encounter with the devil romance. Can he stop obsessing over what he has lost to embrace what he still has? Marianne, who lives under a self-serving cloud of failure. Can she let go of that excuse to claim what is right there waiting for her?
