Talked into a wilderness-survival course after her divorce, a 32-year-old woman embarks on a three-week stint in the Wyoming mountain wilderness, where she learns unexpected lessons about standing up for herself and confronting her fears. - Macmillan School
As seen on Netflix - from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bodyguard and Hello Stranger
Helen Carpenter canât quite seem to bounce back. Newly divorced at thirty-two, her life has fallen apart beyond her ability to put it together again. So when her annoying younger brother, Duncan, convinces her to sign up for a hardcore wilderness survival course in the backwoods of Wyomingâshe hopes itâll be exactly what she needs.
Instead, itâs a disaster. Itâs nothing like she wants, or expects, or anticipates. She doesnât anticipate the surprise summer blizzard, for exampleâor the blisters, or the rutting elk, or the mean pack of sorority girls. And she especiallydoesnât anticipate that her annoying brotherâs even-more-annoying best friend, Jake, will show up for the exact same courseâand distract her, derail her, and . . . kiss her.
But it turns out sometimes disaster can teach you exactly the things you need to learn. Like how to keep going, even when you think you canât. How being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes getting really, really lost is your only hope of getting found.
Happiness for Beginners is Katherine Center at her most heart-warming, captivating bestâa nourishing, page-turning, up-all-night read about how to get back up. Itâs a story that looks at how our struggles lead us to our strengths. How love is always worth it. And how the more good things we look for, the more we find.
