Bøger i Crossroads Collection serien

At the Crossroads Center, they're in the business of handing out second chances. And their newest client is Hope O'Neil - college student and Jane Austen devotee, who has always believed she'd be more at home in the past, wearing corsets and courted by men in cravats. But can a modern girl really fit into a world with no electricity, cell phones, or indoor plumbing? Hope is about to find out when her wish for an Austen kind of life is unexpectedly granted. Although she envisions her second chance will be like something straight out of Pride and Prejudice - complete with her own Mr. Darcy and a romantic happy ending - she gets more than she bargained for in this delightful romp through Regency England... a lot more. Leap of Hope is part of in an innovative new collection by author Shannon Winslow, stories all about turning points, possibilities, and second chances. Each book is complete in itself and may be read in any order.Who hasn't wondered at least once how life would have changed by making an alternate choice at some crucial moment in the past? Where would you be today if you'd turned right instead of left at an important crossroads or been able to sidestep a particular misfortune? Perhaps you've daydreamed about a different life altogether, in a different place and time. Each book in the Crossroads Collection features a new hero/heroine who's given the extraordinary gift of a second chance at life, the chance to answer for themselves the intriguing question "what if?"

At the Crossroads Center, they're in the business of granting second chances. And their newest client is Ben Lewis, a former star athlete who never recovered from the death of his dream to make it big in the big leagues. Now he's being offered the opportunity to return to 1991 and try again, this time without the illness that originally ended his baseball hopes. What's the catch? He will pay for his second chance by forfeiting his memories of the first... and possibly along with them, the love of his life. Can he find his way home to the woman he's long forgotten but never stopped missing? Or will reaching for the brass ring with both hands cause the treasure he once possessed to slip forever from his grasp?This is not primarily a sports story; baseball is simply the rich and interesting backdrop for what happens when Ben gets his giant, world-class "do-over." In many ways, it's not so different from Winslow's other novels, dealing with love and the forces that bring people together... or keep them apart.Leap of Faith is the first in her innovative new series: the Crossroads Collection - stories all about turning points, possibilities, and second chances.
