A forgotten wartime romance. A journalist on the brink. And the truth that it's never too late for love.

For readers of Eat, Pray, Love and From Strength to Strength, this poignant true story reminds us that we are all deserving of great love.

Kara is a journalist stuck in a crumbling marriage, quietly losing hope. When she’s assigned to write a human interest piece on WWII Veterans, she meets Bob—a sharp, charming nonagenarian who shares his greatest regret: that he missed out on marrying the love of his life—a woman named Joy.

It's been over 60 years since Bob has spoken her name, and he has one last wish: to find her before it’s too late.

What begins as a routine assignment turns into the story that changes everything. As Kara sets out to reunite two long-lost lovers, she’s forced to confront the losses and longings in her own life. What unfolds is a moving, unforgettable journey through memory, healing, and the enduring power of love.

Tell Me About Joy is a beautifully written true story about the lives we live, the choices we carry, and the unexpected ways love can find us again—even after all this time.
