– Learn MoreHere’s the set-up:
Nichole, a young black woman, is caught in a tough position. She is juggling too many responsibilities as her world falls apart around her. When her mother turns up missing while performing an errand, Nichole is left picking up the pieces of her shattered life and taking care of her younger siblings. She isn’t sure where she can turn to for help, and she is facing a lot of harsh realities about how life works and how much prejudice can hold her back.
Richard is a lawyer who lost himself in corporate law. He wants to help Nichole through her heartbreaking situation, but he makes mistakes and loses her trust. He discovers that he’s been doing the right things for the wrong reasons for a long time. Everything begins to fall apart as he realizes he’s swept problems under the rug for so long he might no longer be able to fix them. After meeting a young alcoholic who is struggling to take control of his life, Richard wakes up to just how far off-course his life has become and attempts to right it. He asks Nichole for a second chance to help her overcome her obstacles, and he hopes it isn’t too late.
Can Nichole and Richard overcome their prejudices and get a Second Chance?
Praise for Second Chances:
“Second Chances may be an issue-laden novel, but it weaves these issues seamlessly into the book by virtue of the strength of Cole’s characters. The novel manages to be both entertaining and eye-opening. It will make you feel more socially aware and connected by book’s end.” – SPR
“Second Chances leads the readers on a roller coaster of emotions while simultaneously reflecting on problems that face today’s society” – IndieReader
“Second Chances examines timeless themes of social inequality, prejudice, and the very human urge to keep hoping and trying for that second chance” – Chantelle Atkins Underground Book Reviews
“It makes you dream of a better world for us all; one where we are not defined by race or gender, but rather by our skills and capabilities. One where we all get along as equals, irrespective of race or status.” – Faridah Nassozi, Reader’s Favorite

I'm not your "normal" writer. I didn't aspire from a young age to become an author. But my last day of high school, my English teacher said, "There is a book in each of you. It might be a how-to, non-fiction, fiction...Whatever it is, find that book." I thought she was crazy, I didn't even like to read.
But that quickly changed when I began reading mysteries and romance!
I'm not sure if it was from my teacher's words or just my imagination, but for years a scene played in my mind--like a movie. Finally, one day, I sat and wrote it down. And the floodgates on my imagination opened. Before I knew what a critique partner was, I'd written four books (I use the word "written" very loosely, they needed a tremendous amount of work).
I never planned it, never dreamed about it, never expected to get such joy from it, but writing has become a vital part of my life.
