NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One of beloved author Debbie Macomber’s classic novels, this is a beautiful story of hope, healing, and the magic of the human heart.

Physical therapist Joy Neilsen doesn’t take no for an answer when it comes to her patients. She’s tough yet compassionate, doing whatever it takes to get them back on their feet . . . and she’s met her match in Sloan Whittaker. Bitter, angry, resentful, Sloan is ready to give up. But Joy doesn’t let anybody quit, especially not a man as talented as this brilliant tycoon—a man who, somewhere along the way, has won her heart.

After weeks trying to push Joy away, Sloan realizes he’s a fool. She’s determined to piece him back together, and now he knows why: Deep down, she’s as broken as he is. Joy is prepared to give him everything, and now Sloan wants to give her something in return. He can be the one to show Joy that she’s perfect inside and out—if she’s willing to let go of her own painful memories and make happy ones with him.

BONUS: This edition includes excerpts from Debbie Macomber's Last One Home and The Inn at Rose Harbor.

Dear Reader,

Mary Jo Wyse tells me she’s in love! With Mack McAfee—who also happens to be her landlord. She and her baby girl, Noelle, have been living at 1022 Evergreen Place, which is right next door to Mack, for a few months. She says she’s still a little wary about their relationship because, as she readily admits, she hasn’t always made good decisions about men. Her baby’s father, David Rhodes, is testament to that! She’s worried that he might sue for custody, even though I doubt he has any real interest in his daughter.

In the meantime, the World War II letters she found at the house are a wonderful distraction. Both she and Mack are trying to learn what happened to the soldier who wrote them and the woman he loved.

She’s invited you and me to go to her place sometime. She’ll show us the letters. Plus we can catch up on the latest about all our friends in Cedar Cove. I’d also like to learn what’s going on with her brother Linc and his wife, Lori (who, according to Mary Jo, tied the knot about five minutes after they met!). Oh, and maybe Mack can join us….

It's Better This Way: A Novel

Debbie Macomber

After her marriage ends, one woman’s struggle to pick up the pieces finally leads to a new beginning but is the past truly behind her? #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber explores the powerful intersections of love and family in this poignant novel.

It’s been nearly six years since Julia Jones had her heart broken. After her husband became involved with another woman, she did everything she could to save their marriage, to no avail. Their two daughters continue to stand by Julia in the wake of their father’s behavior—and they’ve had a tough time getting along with the “other woman” who became their stepmother. Distraught after selling the family home, Julia moves into a condominium complex that offers the warmth and charm of a fresh start. Now, having settled into her new community and sold her successful interior design business, she’s embraced a fulfilling new life, one that doesn’t seem to need a man in it. Her beloved father’s trusty saying is ringing truer than ever: It’s better this way.

But when Julia meets a handsome new resident in the building’s exercise room, she can’t help but be drawn to him. Heath Johnson is a welcome change from the men she’s encountered on the occasional—mostly disastrous—dates her sister has eagerly planned for her over the years. As she and Heath, a divorcé himself, begin to grow close, their friendship blossoms into an unexpected love. However, they soon realize that combining families proves to be a challenge, even though their four children are adults.

When a dramatic revelation threatens the happiness they’ve found, Julia and Heath must reconcile their love for their children with their love for each other. If they can’t, their bright future together may be nothing but a dream.
