Leap of Faith by Shannon Winslow
At the Crossroads Center, they're in the business of granting second chances. And their newest client is Ben Lewis, a former star athlete who never recovered from the death of his dream to make it big in the big leagues. Now he's being offered the opportunity to return to 1991 and try again, this time without the illness that originally ended his baseball hopes. What's the catch? He will pay for his second chance by forfeiting his memories of the first. and possibly along with them, the love of his life. Can he find his way home to the woman he's long forgotten but never stopped missing? Or will reaching for the brass ring with both hands cause the treasure he once possessed to slip forever from his grasp? This is not primarily a sports story; baseball is simply the rich and interesting backdrop for what happens when Ben gets his giant, world-class do-over. In many ways, it's not so different from Winslow's other novels, dealing with love and the forces that bring people together. or keep them apart. Leap of Faith is the first in her innovative new series: the Crossroads Collection - stories all about turning points, possibilities, and second chances. Each book is complete in itself and may be read in any order. Who hasn't wondered at least once how life would have changed by making an alternate choice at some crucial moment in the past? Where would you be today if you had turned right instead of left at an important crossroads or if you had been able to sidestep a particular misfortune? Or perhaps you've daydreamed about a different life altogether, in a different place and time. Each book in the Crossroads Collection features a new hero/heroine who is given the extraordinary gift of a second chance at life, the chance to answer for themselves the intriguing question what if?
