Full Description
No one knows why Teddi Lerner left Chance, Ohio so abruptly on the day of her best friend Celia's funeral, but everyone certainly knows why Teddi is back six years later. Twelve-year-old Shayna has persuaded her `Aunt Tee,' a successful photographer, to photograph her father's wedding. Even though it's been years since Shay's mother, Celia, died, Teddi can hardly bear the thought of her late best friend's husband marrying someone else. But Teddi's bond with Shay is stronger than the hurt. Plus, Teddi knows it's time to face the consequences of her hasty retreat from family, friends, and, her old flame. As she looks through her camera's lens, nothing in her small town looks the same. That's when she truly sees the hurt she's caused and - maybe - how to fix it. Funny, thoughtful, and brilliantly observed, Left to Chance is a heart-healing novel about the meaning of friendship, finding passion in life, and most of all, about renewing belief in the simple things that make life worth living.
