    At East Virginia University in 1969, Bishou Howard is a female Yankee graduate student in a Southern man's academic world. It is a rough life, but no rougher than living at home. Her parents are ill, and she and her twin brother Bat (Jean-Baptiste Howard, a retired Vietnam vet) are raising their younger brothers and managing the rest of the family almost by themselves.
    Because of her French-Canadian background, Bishou becomes an interpreter for a university conference. Louis Dessant, a French-speaking visitor from Réunion Island, is attractive, wealthy, lonely, and somehow vulnerable.
    Why is Bishou sensing something wrong with him? What is his dark secret, and why is she drawn to him nonetheless? Is Louis's attitude to her simple gentlemanly courtesy, or is he falling in love?

The sequel to Second Chance continues the adventures of Bishou and Louis on the island of La Réunion. They may be hoping for "happy ever after," but the sister of Louis's murdered fiancée is on her way to the island, with a gun in her purse and cold murder in her heart. It will take all the love and courage that Louis and the rambunctious Howard family have to offer, to deal with this angry sister.
