Happiness for Beginners

About the book

As seen on Netflix - from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bodyguard and Hello Stranger

Helen Carpenter is having a tough time recovering. Recently divorced at the age of thirty-two, her life has spiraled out of control and she doesn't know how to piece it back together. So when her irritating younger brother, Duncan, persuades her to enroll in an intensive wilderness survival course in the wilderness of Wyoming - she hopes it will be the solution to her problems.

Unfortunately, it's a complete disaster. It's nothing like she expected, wanted, or prepared for. She didn't expect the unexpected summer blizzard, the painful blisters, the aggressive elk, or the group of mean sorority girls. And she certainly didn't anticipate that Duncan's best friend, Jake, who is even more annoying, would also be taking the course - and end up distracting her, throwing her off course, and even planting a kiss on her.

However, sometimes disasters can teach us valuable lessons. Such as how to persevere when you feel like giving up. How facing your fears can make you courageous. And how sometimes getting completely lost is the only way to truly find yourself.

Happiness for Beginners showcases Katherine Center at her most heartening and captivating - a compelling, page-turning read that will keep you up all night. It is a tale that demonstrates how our hardships lead us to discover our strengths, how love is always worth fighting for, and how the more positivity we seek, the more we will find.
