Finding Joy
by Jenni Moen
Release Date: 12/13/13
Book Summary from Goodreads:
Love is patient.
It can happen when you least expect
it, where you least expect it, with whom you least expect it.
Love is kind.
But love may not grow out of
kindness. It can happen with the
person who hates you most because love knows no
bounds.
And it keeps no record of
wrongs.
Love doesn’t hold a grudge.
Love forgives.
Love forgets.
But when the healing of your heart
breaks the hearts of the ones you love …
it may seem impossible to
Find joy.

Excerpt :
First Fight:
I felt his body give a little in my arms, and he finally put his arms around me. We stood there
with our arms wrapped around each other, saying nothing. The movement of the train gently
listed us back and forth, but Adam’s feet remained firmly planted, holding us steady.
“We just had our first real fight,” I whispered.
It wasn’t entirely true. We had fought once before. It had been about the accident and had
ended with me running out on him with the intention of never going back. It had been a turning
point in our relationship. So it was hard to think of it as nothing more than a ‘fight.’ This was our
first argument that wasn’t related to our past.
I looked around to see if anyone had witnessed this monumental event, but the only other
passenger was a woman with earbuds stuck in her ears at the other end of the car. She tapped her
foot along to whatever she was listening to and read from a book she held in front of her face.
Adam’s hand wandered from around my waist to my backside. He squeezed it and buried his
face in my hair. “You know, there’s only one thing to do after a fight,” he growled, just as we
conveniently pulled into our stop.
“What’s that?” I asked coyly.
“Make-up sex. I need to get you home. Right. Fucking. Now. If you’re lucky, we’ll make it.”
“If I’m lucky, maybe we won’t,” I chided him.
“Oh, that’s it,” he said. Before I knew what was even happening, his hands were back around
my waist, and he hoisted me over his shoulder. This was the second time in as many weeks that
he’d thrown me over his shoulder in a public place.
“Adam,” I said, smacking him on his butt as he strode purposefully through the open train
door. “You’ve got to stop carrying me around like this. It’s not dignified.”
“I don’t give a shit about dignified.” Oblivious to everyone around us, he carried me through
the tunnel and up the stairs to the street. Only after we were on Broadway did he put me down.
“Now keep up,” he said, dragging me toward our building. “Or I’ll be forced to carry you the
whole way.”
I had to admit that I didn’t really mind the caveman show. In fact, there wasn’t much that I
didn’t like about my occasionally cocky, subtly tattooed, movie-quoting, cat-whispering, t-shirt-
wearing, Eminem-singing, muscle-car-loving, sweetheart of a man.

About the Author
Jenni Moen lives in Oklahoma with her husband and three crazy, exuberant kids that
have the potential to burn the house down at any moment.
When she’s not chauffeuring kids around town, performing her mom duties as
a short order cook and maid, or vacuuming for her fastidious husband, she hammers away at
her keyboard at her big girl job as a patent attorney. While vodka and exercise have provided
some relief from the daily grind, it is reading … and now writing … that are her true escapes.
