Joy Again - Paperback

by Molly Krause (Author)

What happens when secrets from the past collide with innocent parties planning their future?
It's been a year since the unexpected death of Joyce Becker's beloved husband Andy, and she outwardly appears to have moved on. With the help of her sister Maggie, Joyce continues to run the restaurant she and Andy opened decades earlier. But keeping the secret of the details of his death is taking a toll on her relationship with her sister and especially with her daughter Cassie. When Cassie announces her engagement to her boyfriend Jacob, a series of unforeseen events unfold. The unlikely intersections of the two families threaten Cassie's engagement plans, her future in-laws' marriage, and Joyce's ability to deal with her grief. But the bonds of family prevail as they grapple with secrets, forgiveness, and what it means for a person to move on with their life.
