What Happiness Looks Like Karen Lenfestey

Joely Shupe had a vision of what her thirties would look like: she?d be the mother of two, finger painting with her kids during the day and cooking dinner for her loving husband at night. Instead, she?s a single mother struggling to provide for her young daughter. To make matters worse, her ex-fiancé, Jake, shows up--unemployed and reeling from a personal tragedy. He claims he?s ready to parent the daughter he abandoned five years ago. Joely is more interested in Dalton, a devoted father to his own son, who offers to take care of her the way no man ever has. Should Joely risk her daughter bonding with someone new or with the man who broke her heart? Meanwhile, Joely?s sister, Kate, has the husband and the home, but no baby. After several failed attempts at fertility treatments, Kate?s husband is ready to give up. Kate believes his solution to their problems will tear them apart. For Joely and Kate, one thing is for sure: this is not the life they expected. Is it time to adjust their idea of what happiness looks like?
