The Lead Story was Love Landy Wisdom was a survivor. Her former husband's abuse hadn't broken her spirit - no, she'd picked herself right up and helped run the local Underground Railroad for battered women. But when it came to love, Landy felt that the train had left the station. She'd built a wall around her heart no man could breach... until journalist Micah Walker showed up and bought the hometown newspaper. For Micah, returning to small-town life was a culture shock. But it was more shocking to see how things had changed for the local debutante. In high school Landy had seemed untouchable. Was she still? Micah would find out, as he patiently, tenderly dismantled her defenses to reveal the warm, compassionate woman underneath....

Liz Flaherty's debut novel, The Debutante's Second Chance is a story of survival and victory over a crushing past. Landy Wisdom had it all in high school--money, position, her boyfriend was son of a lawyer and the football team's quarterback--or so it appeared to Micah Walker, who grew up poor. Micah returns to Taft twenty years later to learn Landy's husband is dead. His abuse left Landy physically and emotionally scarred. Yet this strong woman risks her safety by helping run the Underground Railroad for battered women. Flaherty kept me turning the pages in this heartwarming tale. Don't miss The Debutante's Second Chance.
