A "second chance shop" can be as simple as a thrift store where you pick up a hand-me-down t-shirt. But life may offer us second chances of a different type: a chance to try something new, correct a mistake, change course, expand our understanding, find a friend, chase a dream, or fall in love. This collection includes stories about baseball, ghosts, zinnias, a bracelet, an IBM punch card machine, a farm pond, fortunetelling, housesitting, swimming, a high school, a diner, a shop in Brooklyn in 1902, the Nevada desert in 1958, and a cat on a Chicago fire escape in 1962. The Second Chance Shop explores what people do when they're presented with-or seek out-a second chance.
