About Beautifully Ours

A Christmas novella about love, pacing, and the beauty of growing together—especially when life doesn’t go to plan.

Ella is learning how to be a wife, completing her meditation teacher training, and managing life with a debilitating chronic illness. Her carefully balanced world is already full—until unexpected news shakes everything, threatening her health and her sense of control.

Josiah is loving life with Ella. Slowing down for her has brought clarity and joy, and he’s pouring his energy into a group fitness challenge with the guys. But as Christmas approaches, and Ella begins to struggle, he’s faced with a deeper question: can he truly support her, or is he still trying to fix everything?

With Carey about to have her baby, Kiera nursing a heartbreak, and the friend group coming together for a festive season like no other, Beautifully Ours is a heartwarming story of love, friendship, and finding joy even when life feels anything but picture-perfect.

A heartfelt romance about learning to trust, leaning on the ones you love, and finding joy in the unexpected.

Praise for Mindfully Yours, Ella

"It's a fantastic read—well-written, compelling, realistic plot. I especially appreciated seeing a protagonist navigating dating while managing a chronic illness. That aspect resonated deeply with me, as it reflects my own lived experience. I’ve never encountered a novel with a main character I could relate to in this way before!" - Michelle

“Mindfully yours, Ella was a quick, sweet, and kindhearted story that made me feel like I was hearing from and getting updates from my friends.” - Melanie
