A Culture of Second Chances: The Promise, Practice, and Price of Starting Over in Everyday Life

by David M. Newman

This book explores the iconic existence of second chances in everyday life. Newman argues that while second chances are culturally ubiquitous, they are complicated by assessments of deservedness, ultimately pitting optimistic notions of redemption against entrenched beliefs about the intransigence of human nature.
