The Second Chance Shop Series by Ev Bishop

Heartwarming contemporary women’s fiction featuring small-town communities, second chances, women’s friendships, and later-in-life romance.

Something Old

How do you find the strength to start again? 

Madeline’s world caves in when her husband, daughter, and sister are ripped away in one fell swoop.

Trapped in a limbo of grief and loneliness, she realizes that to survive, she needs to fight her way back to some kind of life.

She throws her belongings into storage, sells her house, and heads to a new-to-her small town. There she invests every dime she has to open what had been her and her daughter’s shared dream: an upscale secondhand, consignment, and upcycling store. It has to work, or else—No. She can’t think about that. It has to work.

The birth of Madeline’s heart-healing Second Chance Shop is not without pain. And the clock is ticking on whether the shop can support her. Still, she is floored to find things she’d lost hope of ever experiencing again: laughter, dear friends—including a fat, slightly cantankerous cat and a distinguished old yellow lab—and surprising moments of joy. 

She even has a second chance for love.

If she’s brave enough—and if she can come to terms with her loss, shed her guilt, and fully embrace living. 

Perfect for readers who love: 

• Later-in-life romance
• Women’s friendships
• Starting over at midlife
• Found family
• Second chances
• Charming small-town settings
