Back of the Book
In early 1900s Kansas, Mercy McClain, determined to protect Teaville's children from the bullying she experienced as a child, finds fulfillment working at the local orphanage and serving on the school board. When Aaron Firebrook, the classmate who bothered her more than any other, petitions the board for a teaching position, she's dead set against him getting the job.
Aaron knows he deserves every bit of Mercy's mistrust, but he's returned to his hometown a changed man and is seeking to earn forgiveness of those he wronged. He doesn't expect Mercy to like him, but surely he can prove he now has the best interests of the children at heart.
Will resentment and old wounds hold them back, or can Mercy and Aaron put the past behind them in time to face the unexpected threats to everything they're working for?

My Thoughts
A Chance At Forever is an entertaining novel with a smooth plot filled with loved, forgiveness and self reflection. Mercy McClain was not one of my favorite characters due to her grudge holding and overall immaturity, yet if she had been any different the story would not have had the same effect. Aaron on the other hand is outstanding, his character has depth and really helped pull me into the story and kept me reading. If you are a fan of Melissa Jagears, this book should be on your reading list.
