LAST CHANCE

About the Book

Last Chance is a book of short stories about ordinary people who must take the circumstances of their lives and decide what chances they are willing to deal with in order to survive. Lilly Mae must live with the past bravery of her mother-in-law and face her worst nightmare with her husband and their children in The Hallway. Rosemary, in Typewriter for Sale, must decide how to free herself and her children from an abusive situation. A lonely man and a bitter young boy take their chances as they share a park bench, where Charles realizes that maybe he did miss having a son in The Park Bench. All the stories in Last Chance will challenge you to stop, listen, and maybe look at life from a different perspective.
