Second Chances

by Carole McKee, Diane Kennedy (Editor)

Overview

Melanie Thomas believes that sometimes people who are down on their luck just really need that little boost upward to improve their quality of life; and she can provide that. Since she started her tee-shirt embossing shop she has made a difference in her employees' lives by giving them a new lease on life--hope--a second chance. Her employees are grateful and dedicated to her, but someone else wants her property for his own purpose. Things start happening after he approaches her with an offer to buy her building--an offer she immediately turns down. When inspectors start showing up, Melanie believes it's a ploy to force her to sell and she silently laughs about it as she triumphs over each inspection. But when the building burns, she knows exactly who to accuse. It hurts because she realizes she was falling in love with him. It seems everyone needs a second chance now and then.

Carole is a passionate writer, making readers feel the emotions of her characters. One reader exclaimed, "Carole McKee's books help cleanse the tear ducts!" Her first novel, "Perfect" brought out so much emotion that she got phone calls from people who were in tears when they finished the book. Another reader says that she laughs and then she cries with every one of McKee's books. Carole has enjoyed many fields in many areas, including being a Keypunch operator back in the late '60's and early '70's. She became a Nuclear Medicine Technologist and then decided to change fields. She worked as an Administrative Assistant in a Methadone clinic as well as an office manager for a couple of construction companies.
