Maybe life threw you one too many punches and you had given up hope, or maybe you let that one person get away. There are so many reasons why we give up on life and our relationships, accepting that this is all we will have. Never getting that promotion, or the person that you dream of, or maybe being able to live.
For those found within these pages, they get that rare chance. A second chance at love, jobs or even life itself.
Author Tiffany Carby is a Kentucky native skilled in the art of storytelling. A journalist, columnist and blogger who now works in communications, she has a knack for narrative that keeps her story flowing.
Not all of her storytelling skills came from the classroom. Being born in Louisville and spending time in central and southeastern areas of the commonwealth, Carby developed a sharp ear for dialogue and an appreciation for the tales spun by friends and family from the South and Appalachia. As a Southerner, yes, she says “y’all,” drinks sweet tea and shares a love of college basketball with most of her fellow residents of the Bluegrass state.
Writing wasn’t just a goal, it was a destiny for Carby. She wrote her first book while in the fifth grade — a story about an alien with a one-of-a-kind name, Orangepeachrumple. Though it didn’t circulate farther than her parents, she was hooked. Though publishing many non-fiction works over the years, "She's a Tiger Lily" will be the debut of her fiction work and beginning of a series.
Carby resides near Lexington with her husband, curly-headed daughter, and bull-headed tabby cat.
Each of the authors in this Second Chances Anthology are new authors for me, overall I found the whole book to be a very good read. I only found one of the stories a little bit outside of the norm of what I would read. This was a quick read, and I love second chances. I would recommend it to others that enjoy this genre of books.
