A Year Of Second Chances by author Buffy Andrews was a joy to read. The story opens with Scarlett on her way back to the imaging center after a recent mammogram. She calls her best friend Shonna to help calm her nerves before the second set of images are taken. Scarlett is worried and afraid that cancer will be detected. The scenes of the imaging center, the mammogram, and follow-up visit are situations so many women have experienced, but this is written with a bit of wry humor.

Although the story opens with the cancer scare, the book is actually about  a recently divorced Scarlett deciding to work through a personal goals list she had written as a student. She found the list while cleaning out a box in her parents basement before their move. This is a most inspiring story of one woman starting her life over with a positive attitude to do those things her younger self had wanted to do or accomplish. I loved the best friend driving trip through Route 66!

This is a story about taking the disappointments in life and turning them around. I really enjoyed this book!
