Concerned that she might never pull herself out of this nosedive, Maggie's friends book her as a speaker on a "New Year, New You" cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. Maggie wonders if she's qualified to teach others about happiness when she can't muster up any for herself.

Along the way she may discover that happiness has far less to do with the head than with the heart. Filled with unforgettable characters, snappy dialogue, and touching romance, The Theory of Happily Ever After shows that the search for happiness may be futile--because sometimes happiness is already out there searching for you.

11/20/2017 Jack's Story
can judge that for yourself. I say this because believe it or not, my story is a love story-- not so much between Leah and myself, but between God and you.” Jack's Story: A Love Story of God and You is a Contemporary Christian Romance based loosely on the Biblical Book of Hosea. Just like the prophet Hosea, God directs Jack to marry a prostitute to reveal His heart and message of love to others. “But....a prostitute, God? Why a prostitute? Surely, this cannot be. I understand you wanting me to help her, but......how is she to be my wife? How can I love a woman like her? And how can a woman like her love a man like me?” “Trust me, Jack, and I will show you the power of love.” Follow Jack's emotional roller coaster journey from the depths of despair to the heights of God's amazing grace and all of love's twists and turns in between.
and on the hook with her enormous fan base for the kind of book she's not sure she can write anymore. She's discovering that the church might frown on her tithing on royalties from a "scandalous" book. And the fact that she's falling in love with her pastor . . . well, let's just say that doesn't make things any easier. With a powerful voice, penetrating insight, and plenty of humor, novelist Bethany Turner explodes onto the scene with a witty debut that isn't afraid to deal with the thorny realities of living the Christian life.
