She’s out to prove that there’s no such thing as choosing
happiness. Isadora Bentley follows the rules. Isadora Bentley likes
things just so. Isadora Bentley believes that happiness is
something that flat-out doesn’t exist in her life—and never
will. As a university researcher, Isadora keeps to herself as much
as possible. She avoids the students she’s supposed to befriend
and mentor. She stays away from her neighbors and lives her own
quiet, organized life in her own quiet, organized apartment. And
she will never get involved in a romantic relationship
again—especially with another academic. It will be just Isadora
and her research. Forever. But on her thirtieth birthday, Isadora
does something completely out of character. The young woman who
never does anything “on a whim” makes an impulse purchase of a
magazine featuring a silly article detailing “Thirty-One Ways to
Be Happy”—which includes everything from smiling at strangers
to exercising for endorphins to giving in to your chocolate
cravings. Isadora decides to create her own secret research
project—proving the writer of the ridiculous piece wrong. As
Isadora gets deeper into her research—and meets a handsome
professor along the way—she’s stunned to discover that maybe,
just maybe, she’s proving herself wrong. Perhaps there’s
actually something to this happiness concept, and possibly
there’s something to be said for loosening up and letting life
take you somewhere . . . happy. Christian women’s fiction

An emotional novel of family, friendship and forgiveness from
Courtney Walsh, the New York Times bestselling author of Hometown
Girl. Lyndie St. James is thrilled that her best friend, Elle, is
getting married but unprepared for the emotional storm of the
wedding week and returning to her childhood summer home of
Sweethaven. The idyllic cottage community harbors some of her
best-and worst-memories. It's not only the tragic death of her
childhood friend Cassie that has haunted her for ten years, it's
the other secrets she's buried that have kept her from moving on.
But Lyndie isn't the only one with secrets. Cassie's mother, father
and brother, still struggling with the loss, have been drifting
further and further apart. And Elle herself, the last to see Cassie
alive, carries an impossible burden of guilt. Now reunited, each of
them has a choice: to reveal the truths of that night or continue
to live in its shadow. That means embarking on a personal journey
of the heart-to escape the darkness and all its regrets and to
finally come to terms with the past and, especially, with each
other.
