The highly anticipated novel Second Chances by Rose GoodKnight was released on April 18, 2026.

After a single, life-altering mistake leaves sixteen-year-old Eli Moreno and his sisters with nowhere else to turn, they are sent to live on a quiet rural farm with a man burdened by a past he can’t escape. What begins as a last resort quickly becomes something far more complicated—an uneasy chance at trust, stability, and perhaps even belonging.

But Eli has spent his life preparing for one inevitable truth: everything good eventually disappears. And when old wounds resurface and tensions rise, he must decide whether to keep running… or risk believing in something he’s never had before—a second chance.

A powerful and emotionally charged story of grief, resilience, and found family, Second Chances explores what it truly means to stay when leaving has always been easier.
