The Truth About Joy
Book 2 of the Fruit of the Spirit series!
Renata Ramos has spent years dreaming of the life she knows she was made for — a loving husband, beautiful children, and a home filled with the joy she's always believed was meant for her. But the right man has never come, and the years keep passing. The bright spot is her job at the elephant sanctuary, where the arrival of an orphaned calf sparks a sweet connection that reminds her how much love she has to give.
When Colby finally appears, looking like every prayer she’s ever prayed, Renata's heart convinces her that the waiting is finally over.
But something keeps pulling at her. A quiet nudge. A gut feeling she can't shake. A whisper from God she keeps choosing not to hear. Colby isn't perfect — and deep down, Renata knows it. Yet the fear of losing him is louder than every warning sign, every still small voice, every alarm going off inside her soul. And the sacred vow she made to Jesus in high school — to remain pure until marriage — now hangs in the balance as she wrestles with what she's willing to sacrifice to keep the man she loves.
The Truth About Joy is a powerful, emotionally resonant story about faith, longing, identity, and the dangerous game we play when we love someone more than we trust God. It's a story for every woman who has ever wanted something so badly she talked herself out of the truth — and had to find her way back to the promises that were always worth keeping.

Dana Emery has built a careful, controlled life around one undeniable truth: people leave. Her son's father proved it. Her absent mother confirmed it. And every man who glimpsed the reality of raising a nine-year-old hemophiliac son disappeared before the door could hit them on the way out.
She doesn't need love — she needs stability, insurance coverage, and enough hours in the day.
But when soft-spoken, socially anxious Ethan Turner stumbles into her world and refuses to flinch at the hard parts, Dana's carefully constructed walls begin to crack. Then one devastating moment — Blake in Ethan's care, a tragedy no one saw coming — threatens to destroy everything.
Now Dana must face the question she's been avoiding her entire life: Where is God in all of this, and can she trust Him with what she cannot control?
