Sharing secrets, hiding in their tree house, they were playmates, best friends and later--as teenagers--almost something more. Until the devastating house fire that ripped them apart, claiming the life of Dhillon's father and Riya's big brother, Samir. Riya and Dhillon have barely spoken since that terrible night, but they both made big decisions based on that fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRiya has chosen to fight fire with everything she's got, but it's not easy. As the only female firefighter and one of the only people of color at her fire hall, she has to prove herself over and over. Plus, she's hidden her career from her family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDhillon wanted to heal things, so he became a veterinarian. When a chance encounter with a rescue dog throws Riya and Dhillon together again, he's furious at her career choice. After what happened to them, how can she run into fires on purpose? For Riya, Dhillon's anger is unacceptable: How can he not see that she's protecting others from the very losses they both experienced?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hqn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781335453464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.31w x 0.75d","brand":"Mona Shroff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183848788149,"sku":"9781335453464","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7af2a265-857d-43a3-b725-c973e40ed374.jpg?v=1654571390","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-second-first-chance-9781335453464","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
