Dark Victory

Carol Butler is a children’s author searching for purpose after a devastating loss. When she volunteers with the Community Service Network, she meets Warren Clark — a gay florist living with HIV whose warmth and humour transform her world.

Their friendship becomes the centre of her life. But when a young receptionist offers Carol the chance to have a child, the delicate balance between love, loyalty, and longing begins to shift.

Dark Victory is a story about friendship, sacrifice, and the painful art of letting go — and the quiet victories we find in the dark.

Somewhere between love and pain lies their dark victory.
