The Secret of Joy by Melissa Senate
LOVED IT
This is just the perfect book to pick up with a cup of hot chocolate and just read. It just makes you feel good. There are two main themes here at work: finding yourself and the meaning of family. The Scret of Joy also combines those themes in how your family contribute to your personality and relationships.
Melissa Senate does a wonderful job with this type of novel. If you are looking for a quick and easy book to take your mind off things, try this one. I really enjoyed it.

Product Description
As 28 year old New York paralegal Rebecca Strand’s widowed father lays dying, he confesses a secret: he had an affair 26 years earlier when Rebecca was just a toddler. Now he wants Rebecca to deliver the secret stash of letters he wrote, but never mailed, to the daughter he fathered. Rebecca’s lawyer boyfriend, Michael, is adamant that she forget the woman exists. He’s sure the woman will be an opportunist who will demand half of Rebecca’s father’s million-dollar estate. But Rebecca, now without any family in the world, can’t help but wonder about her one living relative. With her relationship with Michael in tatters, Rebecca drives from New York City to Maine to find Joy Jayhawk, who operates a Weekend Singles Tour service out of an orange mini-van that her regulars dub “The Love Bus.” Enter a cast of lovable, colorful characters, from Joy’s eccentric mother to the singles on The Love Bus, and a sexy carpenter for whom Rebecca finds herself unexpectedly falling in love…
