Melissa Jagears captures the reader in this third volume of the Teaville Moral Society series, "A Chance at Forever." Mercy McClain, along with her brother and sister-in-law, have been put in charge of the local orphanage. There she spends her days helping to take care of the children. She also is on the school board and it is here that she encounters someone from her past - her tormentor - George Aaron Firebrook. Better known in her childhood as the class bully. Now he was applying for a teacher's position. Would this be her chance to get even or would she live up to her name granting mercy? George Aaron Firebrook returns to Teaville, Kansas a changed man. However, he has his work cut out to show everyone, particular Mercy, that he is a new person. While waiting for the school board to decide on who the new teacher will be he is offered a job at the orphanage as the grounds keeper. This is a chance to prove himself and gain Mercy's forgiveness and friendship. Jagears does a great job exploring forgiveness and second chances in this latest novel. I received a complimentary copy of this book from BethanyHouse and was under no obligation to post a review.
