    “Book Descriptions: Knowing where your scars come from doesn't make them go away. Growing up on a ranch, feeding bottles to bummer lambs and babysitting her little sister, Jackie Shannon Hollis expected to become a mother someday. But, after a series of failed relationships, she begins to question this expectation. She meets the man she wants to spend her life with, a man who never wanted children. Jackie joyfully commits to a childless life.

    Soon after the wedding, on a visit to the family ranch in rural Oregon, Jackie holds her newborn niece and falls deep into baby love and longing. As she navigates the overlapping roles of wife, daughter, aunt, sister, survivor, counselor, and friend, she explores what it means to choose a different path.

    This Particular Happiness delves into the messy and beautiful territory of what we keep and what we abandon to make the space for love.”
