title: Things He Hadn't Told Her
author: Whedbee, Vicky
description: What if you only had one chance? Would you take it, or be too afraid to? Thankful for second chances, Chad Edwards contemplated these questions as he wrote in his journal for a high school assignment, long before he knew just how prophetic those words would become in his life. Now a student of sports medicine at the University of Tennessee, Chad and his best friend Cole Rivers, who is the Volunteer's star quarterback, meet Maggie Thompson, an aspiring music teacher. The three become close friends. Maggie is the personification of perfection in Chad and Cole's eyes, and as fate would have it, they both fall in love with her. Just when you think you know what's to come, fate steps in again, and changes everything, leaving you not only anxious to find out what happens, but hoping for that second chance, that fortunately, we all usually have. This is not only a story about second chances, it's a story about the cost and rewards of an undying loyalty between friends, through tragedy and love, which once upon a time, was as valued as a person's word of honor. This story spans several years of their lives.
