When Comes The Joy When Comes The Joy

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.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s easy to read and depicts a realistic view of a women’s life while battling unresolved family and weight/food issues
