description: Vanessa Cook, a Registered Nurse at UAB Hospital, was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. She was a devoted Christian and active member of her church, until a tragic car accident claimed the lives of her husband of 15 years, children, and the growing fetus inside her. Due to unimaginable pain and grief, she lost her way; turning her back on the church and God. After three years, she wondered if she would ever gain the life she once had, and the peace that came with. Anthony Harvey, a South Carolina native and ex-cop, lost his wife of 15 years to breast cancer. Unable to cope with the illness, his life began spiraling out of control. Alcohol became his only means to cope. But after years of torture and torment from his addiction, he saw the light and gave his life to Christ. Searching for a fresh start, Anthony found himself in Birmingham, Alabama. An unfortunate construction site accident threatened his life which brought him to UAB Hospital. There he encounters widowed nurse, Vanessa. Through her own pain and brokenness, she has to help him regain his strength. Will their lives become entangled in each other, or will their pain keep them from A Second Chance at Love?
