Seeking Second Chances
Lofty dreams of a new and better life lured untold thousands to America between 1775 and 1906. Among those "huddled masses yearning to be free" are nine displaced individuals who arrived on American soil and are trying to discover how to pursue happiness, make a home, and secure love.

MY REVIEW
Nine wonderful stories about people from many different countries giving up on love, having faith and making a new life. These are not mail-order bride stories but people who have lost love and hope in a new land, sometimes with no place to go but with God working in their lives they find more than they lost sometimes.
