JOY COMES IN THE MOURNING

By Jess Johnson

June Alexander doesn't know how to move past the death of her mother. Until she gets a call that will change her life forever.

Five years after her mother's death, June regrets losing her twenties to grief and isolation. She gets a phone call from a storage facility informing her that a unit belonging to her mother has defaulted on payments and needs to be cleared out by the end of the week.

When she arrives, there's only one thing in there — a book inside a box that reads "For My Daughter" on the side.

What's in the book? And how will it help June through her grieving process? Will she get the answers that she's been seeking? Follow June in San Francisco as she rediscovers herself and the woman who raised her.
