Heather Harpham thought she knew how her story would unfold. A whirlwind romance, an unexpected pregnancy, and a quiet life raising a daughter she already adored. But mere hours after giving birth, everything changed.
Alone in California while the father of her child remained in New York, Heather faced a terrifying diagnosis that would reshape their lives. In the shadow of hospital rooms and hard choices, love reemerged in unexpected ways.
Happiness is a memoir of joy found in the messiest places: a newborn’s laugh, the generosity of strangers, and the fragile hope of second chances. With humor and grace, Harpham traces the winding, imperfect path to family, love, and something like happiness, crooked and fleeting, but fiercely real.
