The book Second Chances, the first in the Seven Sisters series, captures the reader's attention with its intriguing storyline. Marilyn is just starting out on her own after a painful divorce when she meets a nice minister who has his own secrets. The emotional struggles the two must work through to come together grabs the reader and doesn't let go until the last sentence of this fine book.

This book delt with the tough issue of divorice, of a pastor. It showed the consequences of such a decisions and how it affects all those around you especially a child. I thought she did a superb job in presenting the reality of it. There was also a message of forgiveness for things in our past and suspense. I am looking forward to reading the other "sisters" series. If you like romance, suspense and a really great story, then try this. You won't be disappointed.

The author of this book really seems to understand the unfortunate ins and outs of a divorced family and really shows how it affects each member of the divorce (children, the betrayed one, the betrayer) so from that standpoint; it is a really good read. The mystery/suspense aspect of the book was also engaging. The amount of attraction between Josh and Marilyn seemed a little unrealistic. . . and one is left to wonder if a man would REALLY continue perusing someone who had so blatantly told him so many times that she was not interested in him, as well as being extremely rude. I guess the part (for me) which seemed the most ridiculous is the premise of the whole series, and that is the idea of seven college friends staying in touch after 10 years. That they would still all be so close with each other, share monthly conference calls (like that would really work anyway) and (puleeze) get together twice a year, is not believable at all. Other than that (minor detail!), I enjoyed the novel.

I liked this book as much as the other 2 in the Seven Sister seriies. This one had more mystery and intrique which I also liked

This was an excellent book. I like how she connects her stories with seven friends. I am looking forward to reading about each one of the women. This books shows how you can start over even when you think you can't

This is my first of I am sure many Debra White Smith books. I absolutely loved this one. The author kept you wishing the couple would get together and you could feel the suspense of impending danger. I can't wait to read the sequels.

This is an awesome book and an awesome series. You will laugh, cry, and adore this story line. Debra White Smith has a way of touching your heart with real life issues that you can relate to and that bring you closer in your relationship with the Lord.

I really enjoyed this book, and would very highly recommend it to anyone. I would give it more stars if I could. It's romantic and has a great and entertaining storyline.
