【第二次机会】是对充满希望和深思熟虑的奇闻异事的概要，这些奇闻异事来自于那些，事情已发生，想要重新有一次机会的人。大的事情包括在孩子长大后想再上大学；小事情，比如在你认为你很难应付一场俯卧撑时，得到一个柔道带。这本书收集了一些充满希望的例子，如有些人发现一只脚可以站起来了，另一种能量，一种隐藏的天赋，甚至是一种未被开发的力量，有时会得到朋友或陌生人的意想不到的帮助。这本新书是一本鼓舞人心的，让未来战胜过去的故事指南。

Second Chances is a hopeful and thoughtful compendium of anecdotes from people who have wanted another chance at something--and have taken it. It's the big stuff like going back to college after the kids have grown up, as well as the little things like getting a judo belt when you thought you could hardly manage a push-up. The book collects the hopeful examples of people who found a leg up, another spurt of energy, a hidden talent, or even an untapped strength, sometimes with the unexpected help of friends or strangers. Combining the feel-good qualities of One Good Deed and the crowdsourcing methods of Like My Mother Always Said, Erin McHugh's latest book is an inspirational guide about letting the future win over the past.
