Well, we're hitting the halfway point of the year, so why not a story that literally mentions a halfway point of something? Some might also consider parenthood a halfway point in our lives in adulthood, between youth and middle age (I'm not old just because my children are grown!)  Here's this month's feature for you to enjoy, rated 5 stars with several recommendations as well! 

Fourth Down: Second Quarter

by @FrankD

Length: 38,744

Description: Hunter and Dale are all set for the next chapter of their lives; parenthood. Having just moved to Cedrich Falls, a small town in the Midwest, they become fast friends with their neighbor. After taking in two kids in need, they soon find themselves up against the towns self proclaimed authority on what is morally right. 

A Reader Said: Following the traumatic events in his university days, with the love and strong support of the man he loves, his friends, and family, Hunter has not only survived but flourished. In the opening of Fourth Down: Second Quarter, we witness Hunter and Dale, along with their children, moving forward in life, settling into a new home and a new town, surrounded by the tight-knit family of choice they’ve created. 

As new friends are welcomed into their circle, they come together to celebrate their reunion and the next chapter of their lives. Trouble lies ahead, though, as they face new challenges and forces intent on destroying their lives. ~Vcs
