Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning author brings us the story of Ian Bedloe, the ideal teenage son, leading a cheery, apple-pie life with his family in Baltimore. That is, until a careless and vicious rumor leads to a devastating tragedy.
Imploding from guilt, Ian believes he is the one responsible for the tragedy. No longer a star athlete with a bright future, and desperately searching for salvation, he stumbles across a storefront with a neon sign that simply reads: CHURCH OF THE SECOND CHANCE.
Ian has always viewed his penance as a burden. But through the power of faith and the love of family, he begins to view it as a gift. After years spent trying to atone for his foolish mistakes, Ian finds forgiveness and peace in the life he builds for himself.
Customer Reviews
So good
Okay I will admit I saw the movie first (and honestly wish I hadn’t) this work was so much better! Love Anne Tyler’s writing style.
Some parts had me tearing up, I’ll further admit—young Thomas’s certainty of seeing mama in heaven…
And what fantastic ending! Recommend reading it to anyone asking.
Not my favorite
It starts out well, but then just seems to go on…and then ends in a way with you wondering why you wasted your time reading it.
