PRICE OF A SECOND CHANCE

PRICE OF A SECOND CHANCE What happens when a teenage mistake becomes a lifetime of consequences? At fifteen, Imelda is young, trusting, and full of dreams. But her relationship with Festus changes everything when an unexpected pregnancy interrupts her education and forces her into a marriage she is not prepared for. Festus promises to take responsibility, but marriage exposes a side of him Imelda never knew. When he eventually walks away from his young family, Imelda is left to raise their children and rebuild a life she never planned to live. With little more than determination, faith, and the support of those who refuse to abandon her, Imelda starts a small provisions business. Over the years, that little shop becomes more than a source of income-it becomes a symbol of her resilience. Then, after ten years, Festus returns. Older. Changed. Regretful. But can a man who abandoned his family truly earn another chance? And can Imelda forgive him without forgetting what his absence cost her and their children? As old wounds reopen and buried truths emerge, Imelda must confront the difficult difference between forgiveness and trust. PRICE OF A SECOND CHANCE is an emotional story about teenage choices, marriage, abandonment, motherhood, resilience, forgiveness, family, and the consequences of the decisions we make when we are young. It is a story of a woman who lost much, rebuilt her life, and discovered that sometimes a second chance comes with a price.
