Georgene Weiner je autorka, ktorej literárny výstup zahŕňa nielen romány, ale aj poéziu a poviedky, čím demonštruje všestranné ovládanie jazyka. Jej písanie je hlboko ovplyvnené oddanosťou klasickej hudbe, ktorá pravdepodobne formuje rytmus a štruktúru jej prózy. Weinerovej dielo pozýva čitateľov do starostlivo vytvorených príbehov, ktoré skúmajú ľudskú skúsenosť.
A newspaper photograph of Luella Frazier's release from prison jars the memory and pricks the conscience of a young investigative reporter. James Price and his wife, Donna, believe that Luella's 12 year sentence was excessive and due, in part, to James's withholding of information at the time of her trial. To assuage his guilt, James seeks to reunite Luella with her psychologically damaged daughter.
Still suffering the sting of betrayal and humiliation by her ex-husband, Mark, Jan Brenner is given the opportunity to extract her "pound of flesh." Driven by an obsessive need for vengeance, she concocts a scheme to expose Mark as the legitimate father of a child born to his mistress. Hardened by bitterness, and aided by modern science, she mines the depths of her deeply rooted anger. Seeking her own absolution for having had an abortion, Jan struggles with her conscience and the concept of forgiveness.A Second Chance is the much anticipated sequel to Ms. Weiner's prior novel Cheater's Choice.
