The Joy of Love, (Paperback)

<b>The Joy of Love is a heart-pulling, </b> funny, and deeply human small-town romance about starting over, rediscovering yourself, and finding love and strength in the people who refuse to let you fall. <p><b>Serena Harrison</b> thought she had the perfect life beautiful home, loving marriage, and a future she'd worked hard to build. But the truth shatters the moment she walks into her bedroom and finds her husband with two other women, wearing her robe and destroying everything she believed was real. Overnight, Serena becomes a single mother navigating heartbreak, betrayal, panic attacks, custody threats, and a divorce she never wanted. </p><p>Forced to rebuild her life from the ground up, <b>Serena</b> moves into a tiny townhouse with her eight-year-old daughter, Kiana brilliant, outspoken, and far too wise for her age. Between school pick-ups, emotional meltdowns, work stress, and the sting of broken trust, Serena struggles to hold herself together. But she isn't alone. </p><p><b>Her childhood friends Layna, Bree, April, Liam, PJ, </b> and Cal step in like a soft landing after a hard fall. With their chaotic humor, fierce loyalty, and unconditional love, Serena learns to breathe again. Layna's bakery becomes her sanctuary. Bree's wild yoga classes give her laughter when she needs it most. April brings tenderness, while PJ offers truth wrapped in sarcasm. And Cal the quiet, steady friend from the past becomes the unexpected warmth she didn't know she was searching for. </p><p>As Serena navigates co-parenting battles, the fear of losing her daughter, and the emotional weight of starting over, she also discovers pieces of herself she lost in her marriage: her dreams, her laughter, her confidence, her voice. And when she walks into Cal's pub on opening night dressed in the black dress she once bought for someone else and never wore something inside her shifts. Cal sees her in a way no one has in years. And for the first time, she feels seen. </p><p>But healing isn't simple. Grief washes in waves. Hope rises slowly. Friendships deepen. New love bubbles beneath the surface. Serena must decide whether she is ready to let someone in again or if her heart needs more time to remember what joy feels like. </p><p>The Joy of Love is a warm and emotional tale about rebuilding your life when everything falls apart. It's about the women who show up with cupcakes and sarcasm, the men who show up with steady hands and honest hearts, and the little girl whose courage shines brighter than the world around her. It's a story of empowerment, messy healing, rediscovery, and the beauty of choosing yourself even when it hurts. </p><p>If you love small-town romances, strong female friendships, single-mom journeys, funny emotional healing arcs, and slow-burn connections born from trust, this novel will stay with you long after the final page. </p><p><b><i>Fall in love with Crescent Point.
