Book About Joy Novels & Stories

Vespa What is joy? Joy is when something you've wished for, after giving up hope, finally arrives. I've never felt such elation in my life. It felt like a dream, a surreal moment that would soon fade away. I held the pregnancy test in my trembling hands, staring at the tiny screen as the plus sign emerged. I blinked repeatedly, rubbed my eyes, and looked again, wondering if it was real. I kept gazing at the two pink lines until my vision became blurry and tears of joy streamed down my face.

“So spare me your attempts at reconciliation.” Silence on the other end. Then, “Fine. I won’t try to contact you again.” “Please don’t.” “Bye, Joy.” Joy felt nothing as she turned around, walked back to Main Street. She felt nothing as she climbed the stairs to her apartment, as she set the already melted cake on the kitchen ledge. She felt nothing as she kicked off her shoes and as she climbed into her pile of blankets on the floor. But the nothingness then filled with something: it cracked, the wound gushing blood once again, and tears flowed in a torrent that she couldn’t stop even if she wanted to.

The machine hisses and gurgles, normal sounds that used to send my pulse racing, and I find myself smiling at how ordinary everything feels. My laptop sits on the kitchen table where I left it last night, and I open it while I wait for the coffee to brew. The blank document stares back at me, cursor blinking in the white space, and for the first time, I don’t want to write about trauma or survival or all the ways a person can break. I had left the divorce clause book incomplete for now. I want to write about hope. My fingers hover over the keyboard, then start moving, words flowing faster than I can think them through. A story about a woman who learns to trust again, about building something

Logan could feel heat rise in his cheeks as he felt himself getting both embarrassed and confused. "I'm getting thinner day by day Logan and it's not even autumn yet," Joy whispered, her blue eyes teary. Logan suddenly felt his own heart drop to his stomach as he saw her hands shamefully covering her protruding ribs. "I have never felt so close to death, what am I going to do? I-I thought that . . . that I was s-strong and that I have accepted my-my fate, but it's scaring me as each day goes by. I-I should feel calmer, but . . . I can't Logan. Life has been kind to me, kinder than what many other people go through . . . I-I have got everything- a loving family, amazing friends and you and I'

For the first time that night, he took off his earbud, smiling as he ruffled my hair. "Aleah, thanks for being so understanding. Things are different now. A marriage certificate doesn't mean much. We should stand our ground, not give in just because your grandpa wants us to get married. Besides, aren't we happy like this?" Layne's voice was gentle, but it cut through me like a blade. Two years ago, Ruby's parents were abducted and killed after saving the Harper family. Since then, she'd developed severe separation anxiety. That was when she quietly started becoming a constant presence in our lives.

Times they felt seen. No one rushes to extract lessons. We just listen. When it ends, the room feels fuller. Not lighter. Warmer. Later, someone says, “I forgot this could feel good.” That sentence stays with me. Integrity without joy becomes brittle. Joy without integrity becomes shallow. But together—they humanize each other. I write that night: Joy is not the opposite of seriousness. It’s the sign that seriousness has not consumed the soul. There’s one moment that crystallizes the shift.

Once everything was said and done, my mentor left, and I stayed behind. I was gathering my files on the table of the restaurant after having the meeting with my mentor for the pop-up at her store since my new clothing line was doing well, when a shadow felt over the table looking up I saw it was Joy, what is it about this woman that she can't wait for me to find her but come to me instead. “ I lost my baby, Jasper won't touch me, and you? You're just living your life,” She says before sitting across from me.

I have seen that place in my dreams, there's no fucking way such a place wouldn't exist, there's no way. I promise myself to go in search of that book probably after the war saga is over, it will be unwise to leave the pack during such a heated period.

Joy fell straight into my arms, "Help me, help me," she muttered gasping for breath.
