Books O' the Week
This sinister-sounding title is not quite what it seems, nor is the story and the characters are going to discover that it’s very important to realise not everything is quite as it seems. They, and we, are going to see how important second chances are…
Former is not a word Reid wanted to use to describe himself but an injury that he can’t let anyone know about and a college scholarship that could disappear combine to make his worst nightmares come true. He was a champion runner; he’s been invited to be guest of honour for a Legacy Weekend in his small mountain hometown. In another twist so has his ex-girlfriend. Clara cannot be a failure; she was set for great things but is aimless. Will the opportunity to shoot a Legacy Weekend video be the one she needs to get her into film school, following her dreams? Reid and Clara are going to cross paths, it’s inevitable but it’s the anonymous social media account sharing all their secrets which is the biggest threat. Will they take the second chance they’re offered and show what true champions look like?
