Second Look
by Connie Stephany
Adam Jackson has left a trail of broken hearts and bad decisions behind him. He cheated on his girlfriend, hurt the woman he had loved since high school, and abandoned his fiancée on their wedding day. But when an unimaginable tragedy forces him to confront the man he has become, Adam gives up his reckless lifestyle and begins making amends.
There is only one woman he cannot find.
Jennifer Sylvester has spent four years trying to forget the only man she has ever loved. After everything that happened between them, she is determined never to let Adam back into her life—or discover the secret she has worked so hard to protect.
But when Jennifer is offered her dream job in Minnesota, she cannot turn it down. She returns home with her daughter, hoping she can build a new life without crossing paths with the man who still owns her heart.
When Adam and Jennifer finally come face-to-face, the connection between them is as powerful as ever. Adam is determined to prove that he has changed, but Jennifer’s carefully built walls will not come down easily. Trusting him again could give them the future they once lost—or expose a truth with the power to tear them apart all over again.
Can two people haunted by the past take a second look at love—and finally get their second chance?

“5 out of 5 stars Verified Purchase Another great one! Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2016 Format: Kindle Connie Stephany wrote a brilliant follow up to her first novel Second Chances - I love how we get to see it from another character's perspective! I really was not an Adam fan in the first novel #TeamMax, but I love Adam now! I recommend this for fun summer beach reading, or reading on a stormy night - however I snuck it in during lulls at work because I COULD NOT put it down. LOVE IT! Can't wait to see more from this emerging author.”

“5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful story. Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2016 Format: Kindle Second Look is the follow up to Second Chances, a book by Connie that I just really adored. This book, was no different; I just couldn't put it down. Connie has a talent for creating characters with spark, determination and realism that has you feeling for them from page one. Her main character Jennifer is a resilient, hardworking mother whose just had a bit of bad luck that I felt we could all relate to. Adam, though it took a while for him to grow on me, proved to be the perfect 'hero' in this type of story. A man of incredible flaw, trying to make up for mistakes of a misguided youth. This is a wonderful, emotionally driven story that will have you saying 'just one more chapter, just one more chapter...'”

When a little girl asks her grandma just how much she loves her, their answers grow bigger and bigger—from their outstretched arms to the clouds, the stars, and all the way to the moon.
I Love You to the Moon and Back is a tender, beautifully illustrated story celebrating the extraordinary bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter and the kind of love that knows no distance and has no limits.

A wonderful gift for granddaughters, grandchildren, new grandparents, birthdays, holidays, baby showers, or simply to say, “I love you.”
I particularly like the long description because it sells the book without sounding like an ad and also naturally includes phrases parents and grandparents might search for when looking for a children’s book.
