Short Story Press Presents Today's Second Chance

"Today's Second Chance", is the tale of young love lost and years later rekindled by chance. Maya returned to her home state of Indiana after many years of moving around and seeing the country. "Maya is a character I personally feel quite a connection to. She is fiercely independent and a single mom who made the best of her and her child's life." says author Tara Mitchell. "Maya finds herself reflecting on paths not taken over the years and fearful that the best of life has passed her by. Her son has left the nest and she is alone for the first time in decades."

Lucas was the one man in her past that she never got over. As kids they were intimate with each other and had a very close friendship. Without warning Maya left Lucas behind. She pined for him for years. He waited for her to return. They move through their lives with something missing until she runs into him while out running errands. He is still the most attractive man she knows. He still carries a torch for Maya.

"Maya and Lucas are so drawn to each other. It's an attraction that cannot be denied for long." states the author. "They take some time to get reacquainted but their strong attraction is a distraction to their everyday lives. Their story takes them back in time and age to feeling young and wildly passionate. Who says you can't go back?" questions the author, Miss Mitchell.
