Life has a way of vomiting all over you leaving you to lay in it or trust God to clean it up. God never said it would be easy, but in the end it would be worth it!

That’s what Delaney Richardson, Bellamy Pope, Milagros “Millie” Lopez, and Paige Holland discover in this breakout novel, Is This the Way to Joy? Tragedy and Pain, Triumph and Power, become their guides in this thrilling tale as they journey on the path to finding ultimate joy.

Will Delaney’s marriage survive a shocking blow below the belt?

Bellamy’s enduring love and amazing life with her college sweetheart is threatened when she reveals a painful past rearing its head through a growing waistline and bringing her face-to-face with her greatest test yet.

Millie knows the service and sacrifice of a military wife, with 25 years of marriage spent mostly apart. As tragedy strikes, will the promise of ‘til death do us part’ leave them broken crying out to the Lord?

Paige appears to have it all: the husband, the children, and the white picket fence.  But, looks can be deceiving.  What pain and shame waits in the house that’s not a home?

These women share a bond through their sister-circle, their love of God and for each other, but can that carry them through life’s most difficult hurdles?
