Maybe This Time — Kathleen Gilles Seidel

You've been on your own, dated plenty of other men, and yet once there was someone...and you know that if you saw him again, he would still be the important one, the man for you...

In high school, they all knew what their lives would be like. Emily Gordon would marry Jeff; he would be a great writer and she would be a brilliant scholar; their best friend Woody had the charisma to be a movie star.

But the car accident the night before graduation changed all that. Afterward, Woody disappeared without a trace; Emily never knew why. By the time she got out of hospital, Jeff was gone, too.

Now, fifteen years later, Emily is a successful sports agent for one of Chicago's top firms. She believes she's finally made it on her own -- until out of the blue she hears Woody's voice coming from her radio; he's reappeared as the DJ of a late-night rock 'n roll talk show. His voice speaks of their bittersweet past, revealing all the missing pieces and demanding answers her heart can only find if she goes home to face Jeff once more. Because, maybe this time, they'll get it right...
