Second Chances

Kayla (Mueller) Schaffer has lived two lives: one filled with pain, secrets, and a desperate search for her true self, and another gifted by a daring leap through time and science. After years of struggle, Kayla harnesses the power of a revolutionary time-travel device to return to her childhood, armed with the wisdom and knowledge of decades. Her mission: to reclaim her identity, repair the mistakes of her past, and build a future where she can live authentically-both as a woman and as a visionary.

But rewriting her life is only the beginning. As Kayla navigates the challenges of adolescence, family conflict, and a body shaped by the rare genetic condition of chimerism, she also sets her sights on a greater dream-to lead humanity into the stars. With her future knowledge, she founds Mueller Innovations, assembles a brilliant team, and embarks on the construction of Sol Station and Horizon, Earth's first true starship. Along the way, she discovers love, friendship, and the possibility of motherhood in a world transformed by her courage and vision.

Second Chances is a sweeping tale of resilience, transformation, and hope-a journey through time and space where one woman's determination to be herself changes the course of history, and where the greatest adventure is the chance to live your life over, and do it right.
