The Certainty of Second Chances
"In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take."
Naomi Brown was only fourteen when her parents died. Fast-forward six years later, and everything has changed - gone are the cherished homemade meals, lifeless are the most renowned holidays of the year, and vacant is the warmth inside the Brown household. Though hopelessly independent, Naomi can't even remember the last time she felt in control of her life. Alongside work and school, she's left with one of the greatest responsibilities of all - looking after her eight-year-old brother, Noah, all by herself.
When forced to face a world of infinite uncertainties, will Naomi decide to give love a chance, even if it means risking her heart?
