LAST CHANCE HERO is book four in the A Place to Call Home
series. As Ms. Armstrong introduces new characters to the small town in New
Mexico, we get a chance to catch up with others characters we’ve already grown
to love.
Dr. Jessica MacLeod is not only new to Last Chance, but new
to small town living. Her dream has always been to have a practice in a small
town, but now she’s not so sure. Ending up in a town where football is king,
she has to admit to the locals she’s never seen a football game before, and
really doesn’t have the desire to. Getting her practice off the ground is hard
enough, but when the residents don’t want to give her a chance, she wonders if
small town living is all she’s imagined it to be.
Andy Ryan was the local football hero. Now, he’s come home
to Last Chance after a career in the NFL to coach the local high school team.
Though he get off on the wrong foot with Jessica, he’s sure they can find their
way. But when she treats one of his team players, and her advice doesn’t line
up with Andy’s thinking, the strain in the relationship because hard to
overlook. Andy’s not sure his and Jess’s differences are something they can
overcome.
The characters of Last Chance have been a joy to get to
know. And the great thing about LAST CHANCE HERO, is you get one last opportunity
to catch up with the whole gang. The relationships that have formed, and the
way their lives intersect with each other definitely shines a light on what
small town living is all about. There’s a genuineness to the residents of Last
Chance, leading to heartwarming stories. You’ll be glad you visited.
