"One Last Chance," is a depression era tale that captures the time with remarkable clarity. It is the story of Artie's coming of age, a boy on the outs who when offered a chance at a new life makes the best of it. The story is both suspenseful and sweet. The author does a good job of bringing his characters to life, particularly the relationship between Artie and Ray. What made the story for me was the way the history of a remarkable automobile, the Dusenberg, was used both as a historical backdrop for the story, and as a symbol for new beginnings.
