Second Chance Love

By: David Johnson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They didn’t speak to each other for nearly fifty years, till one day, they had to.

Grace Charles and Harlon Daniels had a passionate love affair in high school and planned to get married, but the Viet Nam war and the draft got in the way. While Harlon was fighting for his life in the rice paddies, Grace and Harlon’s best friend comforted each other by telling stories about Harlon; an innocent friendship until in a moment of weakness enhanced by alcohol, they crossed a line, and she got pregnant.

Banished by her parents to a home for unwed mothers in another state, Grace’s feelings of guilt and shame kept her from having any contact with Harlon. Meanwhile, when Harlon came home from war and learned what happened, he nearly killed his friend. It was his anger and resentment that kept him from trying to find or keep up with Grace.

Now, fifty years have passed, and her daughter and his son are in desperate need of help, even though they don’t realize it. Reluctant to see their children make the same mistakes they made when they were young, Grace and Harlon combine their efforts to help save their children.

What they never expected to happen was to be faced with the question, “Are you ever too old to love? Is it ever too late?”

Join these four unforgettable characters on an emotional journey through hurt, regret, and resentment as they discover that even though you’re not looking for love, sometimes love finds you.

AI

I do not care for AI reading of this book. It is very forced and unnatural.

Boring voice

There was absolutely no emotion in the virtual narrator.
I’m pretty sure the story would have been good but I couldn’t listen more than 20 minutes
