" Today&amp;#039;s book review is from Woman&amp;#039;s Day Health Editor Barbara Brody. She read Season of Second Chances by Diane Meier. This touching novel shows that a coming of age story can take place at any stage of life\u2014in this case, midlife. When solitary New York professor Joy Harkness uproots herself in favor of a new position at Amherst, she quickly acclimates to her new (more rural) environment, painstakingly oversees the renovation of a charming old house, becomes part of a &amp;quot;family&amp;quot; of close-knit friends, and realizes that it&amp;#039;s never too late for a second (or third or fourth) chance at love. The author&amp;#039;s writing style quickly drew me in and made me root for the main character, who seemed like someone I would like to be friends with despite our differences in age and background. It might sound clich\u00A9, but ultimately this story illustrates that there is always hope and endless possibilities abound, regardless of what life might throw your way. \u2014Barbara Brody  We&amp;#039;d love to hear about what you&amp;#039;re reading, too.
