Description

When a tragic accident shatters the Bedloe family's idyllic Baltimore life in 1965, seventeen-year-old Ian is left carrying the crushing weight of guilt and blame. Desperate for redemption, Ian discovers the Church of the Second Chance and embarks on a profound spiritual journey to earn forgiveness through sacrifice and love. Anne Tyler's masterful exploration of guilt, faith, and family examines how one young man's quest for atonement transforms not only his own life but the lives of everyone around him. With her signature warmth and insight into human nature, Tyler weaves a moving meditation on second chances and the possibility of healing even the deepest wounds. A poignant testament to the power of redemption and grace.
