Love Means Second Chances » Love Means Second Chances - Love Means Second ChancesWhat’s the only thing that could tear apart three generations of women in a Catholic family in 1991 Brooklyn, New York? Abortion. After becoming pregnant when antibiotics cancel out the pill, Christy, a Julliard student with plans to become an opera singer, decides to keep her abortion a secret. She knows her mother, Carole, will go ballistic if she ever finds out. Carole never considered abortion when she became pregnant with Christy in 1972, even though it was then legal in New York State. Instead, Carole married and gave up her dream of becoming a nurse. Fortunately, her mother-in-law, Mary Louise, took Carole in after her father disowned her for getting pregnant out of wedlock. Mary Louise, whose primary desire is to support whatever the woman wants, acts as a bridge between Christy and Carole as they struggle to find common ground. Love Means Second Chances provocatively explores themes of love and loss, yearning and abandonment, forgiveness and acceptance as mothers and daughters emerge from this crisis to find new beginnings.

  • JCO25 - Awesome!

    I had been looking for products that has everything i need! and this one has it! moisturize, exfoliates, deodorize and whitens all in one! and it didnt even cost so much! I love how it smells too! and i notice in less than 2 weeks of using this, i slowly see a results! I had tried other whitening products before, but i never saw result as soon as this product! Im definitely buying again!

  • Runandrun - Shameful, despicable company

    Dealerships make false claims and Xzilon cowers behind their fine print. NOWHERE IN THE FINE PRINT DOES IT SAY THAT SCRATCHES ARE NOT COVERED, and it absolutely should if this is a company with integrity.

  • Amazon Customer - Looks like the unit being sold\manual is a different version

    As of 11-29-2014 submitted a problem report and I'm giving this unit\company a one star. Lets see how it resolves, I'll keep this feedback up-to-date.

  • Super Mum - Good for times when you know the general location of your phone or keys.

    I am one of those people that doesn't "lose" their keys/phone but I misplace my keys/phone almost daily. You know, under the bed, in a couch cushion, left on a cabinet, in the bathroom, etc. This is a perfect device for me. I had previously purchased "finders" that chirp when you whistle or clap but those seemed to chirp every time the TV was on or someone spoke. Since this is Bluetooth, there is no issues with it going off unless the button is pressed.

  • H.C. - Does the job as claimed

    I wanted a thin case and this one does the job. It was precisely made to fit my iPhone 7. However, it seems too thin to protect against drops. Not blaming the product since I didn't expect that for such a thin case, but I might try out a more protective one.

  • Ryan B. Omalley - Best price for near club quality

    I researched this for a long time before buying and kept coming back to the F80. I'm almost 200 lbs, so I needed something durable and this has worked perfectly. As other reviewers have mentioned, the fan is a joke, but that doesn't really bother me. Other than that, I have no complaints at all. It's also reassuring to have the Sole warranty and brand behind it.
