SynopsisWhat happens when a desperately lonely woman stumbles upon a magazine article outlining the "31 Ways to Be Happy" and decides to use it as a last-ditch attempt to turn her life around?, Isadora Bentley isn't sure how she got here. She was supposed to have a flourishing career. She was supposed to be married with children. She was supposed to have a life outside her tiny little office and her tiny little apartment. Isadora has none of those things, and she's fairly certain she never will. As an academic researcher, she's analyzed the data, and concluded that the probability of ever finding happiness is next to zero. After all, connecting with other people is the likeliest way to lead a happy life, and in her thirty years on this earth, she's never managed to master that. But then, as she shops for a solo birthday celebration meal (a smorgasbord of junk food), a headline on a magazine catches her eye: "Thirty-one Ways to be Happy (Today!)" Of course, Isadora knows better than to trust articles that aren't rooted in facts, but she can't help but wonder what it says. Against her better judgment, she buys it, and then she has an idea. She'll give this happiness thing one last-ditch effort by implementing all thirty-one steps of the article. One a day for a whole month. At least then, nobody can say she didn't try. She'll record the data and disprove the author of the article. But as Isadora begins her experiment, strange things happen. Feelings. Emotions. Connections. And when she finds herself a key player in another person's life, she begins to question whether or not her hypothesis was correct. And she wonders if maybe she could actually find the happy life she's been searching for. Contemporary Christian romance Perfect for fans of Denise Hunter and Rachel Linden Includes discussion questions for book clubs, She's out to prove that there's no such thing as choosing happiness. Isadora Bentley follows the rules. Isadora Bentley likes things just so. Isadora Bentley believes that happiness is something that flat-out doesn't exist in her life--and never will. As a university researcher, Isadora keeps to herself as much as possible. She avoids the students she's supposed to befriend and mentor. She stays away from her neighbors and lives her own quiet, organized life in her own quiet, organized apartment. And she will never get involved in a romantic relationship again--especially with another academic. It will be just Isadora and her research. Forever. But on her thirtieth birthday, Isadora does something completely out of character. The young woman who never does anything "on a whim" makes an impulse purchase of a magazine featuring a silly article detailing "Thirty-One Ways to Be Happy"--which includes everything from smiling at strangers to exercising for endorphins to giving in to your chocolate cravings. Isadora decides to create her own secret research project--proving the writer of the ridiculous piece wrong. As Isadora gets deeper into her research--and meets a handsome professor along the way--she's stunned to discover that maybe, just maybe, she's proving herself wrong. Perhaps there's actually something to this happiness concept, and possibly there's something to be said for loosening up and letting life take you somewhere . . . happy. Christian women's fiction Stand-alone novel Book length: 100,000 words Perfect for fans of Rachel Linden, Gail Honeyman, and Linda Holmes Includes discussion questions for book clubs
