Second is Best

Set in the seventies, Kaye Reid resides in Warner Beach on the South Coast of Natal. She has a difficult family life with alcoholic, chain-smoking parents but she thrives in the welcoming warmth of her high school sweetheart Boyd and his family.
Boyd and his best friend, York, are both deployed to complete the compulsory military service almost immediately after finishing school – putting their and Kaye’s dreams on hold for eighteen months.
What happens to Boyd in the army that turned him into a different person? From being an ambition-less surfer to a crack shot with a rifle, only interested in being in the army?
With the help from her friend Evelyn, Kaye gives her life to God and discovers new friends and a new love interest.
Will Spencer be the one she is meant to be with? Will he help her sort out her confused feelings for Boyd? And what about York who disappears from her life too?
Will Kaye seek God to be her pillar of strength when all the walls come crashing down around her?
