The Second Act: She thought her story was finished-until love gave her a second act.

By Mr Alistair John Cullen

The Second Act

A heartwarming later-in-life romance about second chances, sisterhood, and the courage to begin again.

She came to the coast to hide from her past. She never expected to find herself-let alone someone who truly sees her.

After a painful divorce and an early retirement from teaching, fifty-two-year-old Eleanor Fielding arrives in the sleepy seaside town of Roseport to help her estranged sister revive a crumbling community theatre. What begins as a reluctant favour soon becomes something far more meaningful, as Eleanor rediscovers her voice, her purpose-and a spark of something she thought long lost.

James Radcliffe is a widowed bookseller quietly haunted by the past. He's not looking for anything, least of all romance. But when Eleanor walks into his life-and onto his stage-he begins to wonder if second acts aren't just for the theatre.

As the curtain rises on a small-town play with big emotions, Eleanor and James must decide whether they're brave enough to step into the spotlight... or let life pass quietly by.
