SECOND CHANCES
Denise always blamed herself for her parents’ deaths. She was ten years old the night her mother shot her father and moments later herself, leaving Denise parentless. Denise grew up in the loving home of Queenie Phillips, her mother’s sister. All the love she received never erased the guilt and loneliness Denise felt after she lost her parents. Now, fifteen years later her daughter, Erica, has stumbled over a trunk that contains letters written to Denise by her father. Denise will be given a chance to finally understand what really happened that dreadful night.
Then there is Derrick, who thought of Denise as a sister until one night when they went beyond the boundaries of friendship. They learned the hard way that one time is all it takes. He knew marrying Denise would mean missing out on true love. He would give that up in a heartbeat to stay under the same roof as his daughter. He never doubted that until he met Jasmine.
Last but not least, we have Quincy & Gray, the high school sweethearts. They haven’t spoken to each other in seven years all because of a little miscommunication or rather a lack of communication. They have spent years in agony, both afraid of rejection. After a proposal from another man, Gray is determined to find out if there is anything left between them.
Second Chances shows the beauty of forgiveness, not just forgiving others, but of self-forgiveness. It explores the art of listening, and not just hearing. You can feel God’s grace and mercy page after page as He shows us the awesome beauty of second chances.
Don’t let your Second Chances pass you by!!!

MAJESTIC
Ten-year-old Joey was just trying to enjoy his birthday and Christmas, when he tricked his mother into spending the holiday at their family’s log cabin they named “Majestic” in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. His mother, Claire had fallen into a deep depression after her husband was killed in an accident last year, a day before Joey’s birthday and a week before Christmas.
Joey wanted nothing more than to see his mom smile again. That is why he deliberately asked her to go to the cabin when he was aware that his godparents’ family would be staying at Majestic for their third annual Christmas vacation. Joey believed that being around friends would make his mom happy.
What he didn’t plan for was that his godfather’s brother, Jacob, would be there and sparks would literally fly between him and Claire.
Jacob too had tragically lost his wife, and almost his own life nearly three years prior, when his wife shot him three times and then herself. He was struggling with blaming himself and losing contact with his daughter, Denise in the process.
Both Claire and Jacob are battling some profound grief that only intensifies during the holiday season. Can they find the magic they need in each other to love again? Can two hurt people help heal each other or were they destined for more of the same pain? Only time will tell…
