A Chance at Forever by Melissa Jagears
4.0
Another great book in the Teaville Moral Society series! This story was all about redemption and forgiveness. The main character Aaron is a former bully and is looking to redeem himself in the eyes of the people he tormented as a child. Mercy, one of the children he tormented, is in a unique position. The town is hiring a new teacher and Aaron has applied. Mercy is one of the people on the board responsible for selecting the new teacher. Will she sabotage his chance or give him the chance to prove himself? Meanwhile the orphanage is looking for a new gardener. While Aaron awaits the board's decision, he takes on the position of gardener and math tutor to some of the orphans. What he doesn't realize, is that Mercy's brother and sister-in-law and Mercy herself oversee the orphanage. As the two frequently come in contact with one another, they can't help but realize a growing affection for one another, but can Mercy truly forgive him?
It's a great story with all kinds of twists and turns. Like most bullies, Aaron was abused as a child. The type of abuse isn't spelled out, but it isn't difficult to guess what happened based on certain events in the story. Mercy isn't your typical heroine and kudos to the author for including a heroine who is missing a hand. It's a compelling story with romance, mystery, and a hopeful message. Hoping there are more books planned for the series. It would be fun to read Jimmy's story.
