Another Chance
Robert "Bobby" Thennel is the youngest of four brothers. While his three brothers and father are police officers, Bobby has become more familiar with law enforcement from the other end of the spectrum. His drinking, drugging and thieving always puts him in contention with the rest of the family, especially his third brother, Gavin.
Gavin Thennel was the "baby of the family" until Bobby came along, and they have a long history of being at odds with one another. While Bobby has always wanted to be close to Gavin, Gavin has always wanted to maintain distance between him and his youngest brother.
An incident that happens between Gavin and Bobby gives Gavin the best excuse he needs to cut Bobby out of his life for good. No matter what their parents or their other relatives say, Gavin adamantly refuses to have anything further to do with Bobby.
Gavin tells them all, "Don't mention Bobby's name to me again until I need to go buy a black suit."
"Another Chance" is the story of how Gavin's words come back to haunt him and how he finally finds a way to reconcile with Bobby. The reconciliation, however, comes in a way that not even Gavin has prepared himself for.
"Another Chance" is a story about family ties that bind in life and in death.

This was an interesting read. It is short - took me about an hour to read. However upon closing the book I took awhile longer to process it. There is a powerful message delivered in the book. A lot of time when I read a book that has a message it gets preachy or boring. Another Chance kept me reading with a range of emotions. The author did an amazing job with the telling of this story. It has a heavy message and could have been a depressing book. Instead she took something difficult and made it interesting, relatable and ultimately uplifting. If you have an estrangement in your family, (and really who doesn't have at least one relative who has really strayed and hurt the family), I recommend the reading of this book.

I'm so full right now. Another Chance was an amazing read. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. I mean from the beginning I was hooked. I didn't put it down until I finished reading it. The message is so powerful. I wanted to slap Gavin. I have never read a story with such descriptive detail. It was a joy and I look forward to reading Faydra's other works. This story had so much depth it really makes you think. It's just a pleasure to read.
I highly recommend this e-book.
