Second Chances

by Jan Richardson

Marcie is willing to do anything, even advertise for a husband, to protect her brothers and sister from the ravages of the Great Depression. After spending eight years in prison for a crime he didnÕt commit, Wesley Nelson doesnÕt feel he fits in anywhere. Not in the eyes of upstanding citizens or in the home of his sister and certainly not the railway lines, where he hitches a ride in his desperate search for work. His travels take him to a sleepy east Texas mill town, where something about the plight of Marcie Fletcher touches his bruised heart, filling his need for a normal life and a family of his own to love and nurture. While their own separate needs bring them to marriage, both Marcie and Wes realize that love has begun to blossom despite the bleakness of the ravaged economy. A secret from WesÕ past;; however, threatens to spoil the idyllic life they have built together.
