Description
Escape to Avila Falls in this Cozy Second-Chance Romance
Jane is a successful ghostwriter living her dream in New York City, collaborating with movie stars and musicians while quietly longing to publish her own novel.
But just as her career comes to a crossroads, she's called back to her hometown of Avila Falls, a charming mountain town with a colorful cast of characters, where a chance encounter with her high school crush stirs unexpected questions about her NYC life. These doubts deepen as Jane tries to find her place back in Avila Falls; begins a new project with Liv, a pop star grappling with her own identity; and reconnects with a friend and mentor who runs the local bookstore, And Then There Were Books.
Jane begins to see her hometown differently and sparks begin to fly. She questions whether the version of herself she's created is truly who she wants to be. Could the answers she's searching for lie in the very place she once ran from?
Chapter One Again is the debut novel from actress Keelia Clarkson. This cozy, clean second chance romance is the perfect read for anyone searching for love, purpose, and a place to call home.
Chapter One Again is perfect for readers who love:
- Cozy fiction and clean romance
- Charming small-town settings
- Faith-friendly themes

Janna B, Reviewer
Loved this clean, Christian themed Rom-com style book!
My favorite theme addressed is the idea of happiness and what makes us feel happy and fulfilled. We all have some kind of list or ideas of, “If I accomplish _____, I will feel happy” or “If I do _______, I will be a success”.
In this book we read about several people who by all accounts should (because they have accomplished their goals) be happy, but are not. They actually feel inadequate, self conscious, and alone.
There are forces beyond our own goals, comforts not of this world that help us during these challenging times. God truly gives us a bigger perspective on what is important in life and how to follow His guidance.
As a book lover, it was also beautiful to have an MFC who is an author. While she is a writer, she also yearns to write her own stories instead of other people’s life experiences.
I would have loved to have the friendship between Jane and Liv grow in this book, but perhaps that is to come in the next book.
