The Second Chance of Joshua Messer

Joshua Messer has spent forty years chasing a what if.
What if he’d acted differently on that day?
What if he’d said or done something to change the outcome?


When he hesitantly agrees to a surprise request, and subsequently meets the outrageous young Ana, Joshua doesn’t appreciate that his life is about to go from quiet to crazy. Thrust into the unfamiliar world of film-making he is forced to examine his life in a new light.

As filming progresses Joshua begins to suspect he might have a second chance to help someone in a way he couldn’t all those years ago. But the situation brings fresh what ifs. What if he screws it up again? What if history is doomed to repeat itself?

And what if he doesn’t have the courage left to try.
