Since childhood, Kallie has clung to two simple wishes—to unlock the world of reading and to build a life with Quinn Spencer. But when tragedy swept through her family, stealing her mother and young sister, she put her dreams on hold. She promised to raise her baby sister and younger brother, setting aside her own desires to keep what remained of her family intact.
Years pass, and a glimmer of hope appears when a moonlight school for adults opens in the mountains. Kallie believes that her dreams of literacy can finally become a reality.
But her second dream seems impossible when her father sternly forbids her from seeing Quinn. While searching desperately for her missing sister through the dark mountain woods, Kallie encounters Quinn unexpectedly. What they shared as children ignites into something far more powerful, reawakening hopes Kallie believed were lost forever. Yet their families remain locked in a bitter feud and following her heart means jeopardizing everything she’s worked so hard to preserve.
A Chance for Kallie Mae brings history and romance to life as Kallie Mae faces an impossible choice: honor the sacrifices she’s made for her family or dare to reach for the dreams she buried long ago.
