Adam is happily married when he has a stroke at the age of fifty, and his behaviour changes to that of a ten-year-old. What are his secrets? Are there any he should be sharing? His wife would like to know. A Second Chance reveals its secrets slowly. We can see how changed Adam is, but we also sense that we don't know the whole story. The wife is loving, but there is a puzzling edge to her account of her days with Adam. It's only as we come to the devastating conclusion that we learn what happened before Adam suffered his stroke. A novel about devotion and betrayal, A Second Chance is also about forgiveness.

SCHS is a widely known school in the state of Oklahoma. This isn’t your ordinary correctional facility. In fact, this is the school where the worst of the worst go. Students who are involved with drugs, too many fights, gangs, and in some cases even murders attend this high school when there are almost no other options. If high school students could go to prison or jail they have the option of going here first. Depending of the severity of the crime students could come here from 1-4 years year around. The goal of SCHS is to give the students not only a second chance at school but a second chance at life by teaching the students respect, humility and kindness. Alex, Jamal, Mark, Juan, Frederich, and Ryan all have their reasons for ending up at the school and all lived very different lives until unified by their teacher and coach Mr. Williams.
