Happiness isn't only found on mountain tops. Sometimes it's found in a back garden in Sydney, at the edge of a volcano in Hawaii, in a featureless hotel room in New Zealand, in the eloquent words of a poem, in the arms of a loving man ... or in the silence when we come home to ourselves. When a magical new life beckons with its enticing promise of a lover she calls "The Man with the Playful Heart", author Joy Aimee begins a quest to find the happiness that has always eluded her. It is a journey that takes her to foreign countries, new relationships and to those deep places within her own heart and soul that she has long denied. Set over the past seven years, So Where's My Happy Ever After? is Joy Aimee's very personal account of her own journey to authenticity.
