This book is about who I was after my father, a successful and prominent physician, took his life by hanging himself in the psych ward of the same hospital where he had walked the floors taking care of patients for years. I began this journey trying to find the meaning of life for me. I was forty-five at the time, and suddenly everything, I knew and believed in vanished, and my world became dark. In the process of this journey, I not only found new meaning, but a life that was meaningful! Slowly, over time, I wrote my thoughts out to share with my children as I became aware that we each should try to shine a light on the path we are walking on so others can choose to follow or not. At least they won't stumble if they follow you. As you read and discover with me this meaning of life and meaningful life, you will find in the epilogue who I am today and why I chose to share this book with others.

Second Chances is an adult romance between Anne and Ted, who have both suffered great losses. They have ended up on Cape Cod, whose nooks and crannies of wildness are their refuge. They are drawn together as Anne searches for someone to care for an injured foxMaggie, Ted's daughter, gives the story a mythic dimension with her hunger for a mother and her love for the fox. The obvious 'match' between Ted and Anne, both needing what the other has, is not so obvious in practice: as they draw together, the anxieties and dreads sparked by their past experiences increasingly get in their way. They are individuals who feel deeply, and their losses have made them acutely aware of the fragility of ordinary family happiness. Despite an ever-increasing involvement, their romance becomes explosive and would fail were it not for Maggie. At the critical turning point in the story the fox leaves Maggie despite all her hunger and desire but, miraculously, returns against all expectation, making everything else seem possible to them, too. They risk the return of other things, then-like love, and being a family.
