Publisher Description
Jennifer's not perfect. Not even close. But she may just capture your heart.
At 27, Jennifer's out of work, her mom just died, and despite stellar qualifications, every job interview ends in rejection.
Haunted by the teasing, taunts, and fat jokes that defined her childhood, Jennifer blames her unhappiness on her ever-growing waist-band.
And she's ready for change.
Messy and real.
Beautiful and harsh.
When Comes The Joy (previously titled Skinny Me) explores one woman's journey along the road of forgiveness, healing, and strength.

Thought-provoking
A well-written, thought-provoking book for anyone who has wanted to be thin. I’m not sure anyone who has never had problems with their weight would understand some of the nuances behind the writing, but for me it was a nudge in the right direction.
Amazing
Truly inspiring. As a male I had a preconception a lot of things in the book I would not relate to however after reading, it was the total opposite!
Lovely read 👍🏾
Surprising. Worth sticking with
I expected this to be a fluffy "Your weight doesn't matter" kind of story. But it wasn't. It was much deeper. I really didn't like the main character, for most of the book. But she doesn't like herself so it kind of makes sense. I really enjoyed this book and have moved on to the next in the series. For a freebie, I think this was a great book.
