When 18-year-old Ian Bedloe pricks the bubble of his family's optimistic self-deception, his brother Danny drives into a wall, his sister-in-law falls apart, and his parents age before his eyes.
Consumed by guilt, Ian finds the hope of forgiveness at the Church of the Second Chance, and leaves college to cope with the three children he has inherited and his own embarrassing religion. Twenty years on, Ian's prospects of a second chance are receding fast when, out of the heart of the domesticity that has engulfed him, strides a new figure who will bring him new life.
A heartfelt novel about the unexpected tragedies and second chances of life, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Accidental Tourist and The Amateur Marriage. Now available as an audiobook.

Warm and tender reading...
I read this book on recommendation, and did not know what to expect. It was a good read with a tender, sweet ending that brought tears at the truth of it. A great midnight read for summer nights.
A good read
I was fairly happy with this book. I saw the movie on Hallmark and was disappointed with the second half so I didn't expect much from the book but was pleasantly surprised. Like some other readers I felt the ending was somewhat anti-climatic it was still a good read and I enjoyed the character development.
Memories dramatically woven and re-woven
Several themes powerfully developed, including considering who is an insider and who an outsider. As an example, the "foreigners" are presented humorously as outsiders, yet the hospitality they give and receive show them to be loved insiders.
Definitely a Saint!
Poor Ian Bedloe! Filled with grief, encumbered by guilt, looking for forgiveness, and needing love; Ian Bedloe begins a journey hoping to find all of the above. Your heart truly goes out to Ian and his family as they encounter hurdles and hurts as well as trying to deal with each other. The Church of Second Chance offers exactly what Ian is looking for and needs.
People might think that this is a book for Christians only, but it is most certainly not. It is a book for humanity. It speaks to how each of need to have a second chance in life to make things right. We all need the opportunity to right a wrong.
Anne Tyler speaks to us all through the pages of this book. She really makes an effort to force the reader to look over his/her life and see if there was a second chance that we missed.
