Happiness: A Memoir: The Crooked Little Road to Semi-Ever After

by Heather Elise Harpham

Description

In this candid and warmhearted memoir, a free-spirited California traveler and a witty New York writer fall into an unlikely romance—only to find themselves navigating an unexpected pregnancy and radically different visions of family. When their newborn daughter faces a serious medical crisis, heartbreak and uncertainty draw them back together, forcing difficult choices and reshaping their understanding of love, responsibility, and commitment. With grace, humor, and emotional clarity, the narrative explores parenthood, friendship, resilience, and the many unconventional ways a family can take shape. Ultimately, it is a moving meditation on happiness—not as a perfect destination, but as something discovered along life’s winding, imperfect road.
