Women's Fiction Contemporary | Contemporary

On a rare gloriously sunny day in Seattle, six women gather to celebrate their friend Kate’s recovery from cancer.

Wineglass in hand, Kate strikes a bargain with them: to celebrate her new lease on life, she’ll do the one thing that’s always terrified her—white-water rafting. But if she goes, each of them will also do the one thing they always swore they’d never do—and Kate is going to choose their adventure, from getting a tattoo to learning to bake bread to reconciling with a former friend.

Shimmering with warmth, wit, and insight, Joy for Beginners is a celebration of life; unexpected, lyrical, and deeply satisfying.

Re: Joy For Beginners

There's nothing like the close ties of true friendship and in this novel, author Erica Bauermeister captures the essence and the joy that can come from these relationships. This is a powerful and inspiring story that will stay on the reader's heart and mind for a long while after reading.
