HARRY BENTLEY'S SECOND CHANCE "To be a father like God, to have God as his father ... perhaps Harry was being given a chance at both." Retired Chicago cop, Harry Bentley, was lying low. He'd blown the whistle on a gang of rogue cops and was awaiting the day when Internal Affairs would call him to testify and help put their leader, Lieutenant Matty Fagan, behind bars. His cover was working as a doorman in a luxury highrise on Chicago's lakefront. Then Gabby Fairbanks and her husband moved into the building's penthouse. She brought home a bag lady, got a job at the Manna House Women's Shelter, found her life falling apart, and managed to entangle Harry in the whole affair. (Gabby's story is in Neta Jackson's parallel novel, WHERE DO I GO?) But there was an upside. Through Gabby, Harry meets the Yada Yada brothers and the classy Estelle Williams and envisions a second chance at romance. The Yada Yada brothers provide a new circle of friends to replace his old CPD cohorts. But when Harry discovers he has a grandson he didn't know about, will he find the faith to take on the boy as a "second chance" to be the father he'd failed to be to his own son-even when the boy creates new dangers in Harry's fight against corruption, and may derail his "second chance" at love? Dave Jackson and his wife, Neta, are the award-winning authors of the 40-volume Trailblazer series. The phenomenal popularity of Neta's Yada Yada Prayer Group series inspired them to write "parallel" spin-off novels, two stories taking place in the same context ... just the way it happens in real life. They live in the Chicago area, where these stories are set.

A ten star for this one!!!!

I was so disappointed when Neta ended the Yada Yada series. I felt like old friends had left my life. However, when I read the first of her new series, "Where Do I Go" I knew I would be hooked again. The only thing bothering me was having to wait so long for the next (all the Yada books were in print before I became a fan) so when I saw that her husband and fellow author Dave Jackson had a parallel novel, I was excited to order and read. It did not let me down! It amazed me how parts of the book by Neta were woven in and didn't leave you confused.
I will be waiting anxiously for another book by this wonderful Christan husband and wife team.

If you're a Yada Yada fan ...

... you will be readily engaged in this companion/parallel novel by Neta Jackson's husband, Dave. As the women characters of the Yada Yada Prayer Group series weave in and about Harry Bentley's story, the males--spouses, friends, and new characters alike--show us "another side" of finding and receiving the support we all need, but in a new and refreshing story. I hope there's a follow-up making this a series, too!

An Excellent and Fun Read!

Didn't know parallel stories would be so good. It was engrossing how closely tied Mop Top's and Harry's stories were. I think Dave did a masterful job. Harry Bentley life as a retired cop, who is now recognizing God's hand in his life, becomes as well known and liked as our other Yada members. I'll keep buying these and long as David and Neta keep writing these! I especially like it that Second Chance took Neta's main character, Gabby Fairbanks, from "Where Do I Go?" from the new Yada Yada House of Hope series into one more scene after than Neta did. Gave me more peace that Gabby would be alright!
