More than anything, Jennifer wants to be happy. But when she's embarrassed to step out her door, is happiness even possible?


At 27, Jennifer's out of work, her mom just died, and despite stellar qualifications, every job interview ends in rejection.


Haunted by the teasing, taunts, and fat jokes that defined her childhood, Jennifer blames her unhappiness on her ever-growing waist-band. And she's ready for change.


Messy and real.


Beautiful and harsh.


When Comes The Joy (previously titled Skinny Me) explores one woman's journey along the road of forgiveness, healing, and strength.

Industry Reviews

"[When Comes The Joy] is officially one of the best new adult books that I have ever read. Carr has some wonderful things to say, and her voice is both accessible and authentic. It takes serious balls to write an unlikable character and still make her voice seem genuine, but Carr manages it with scary ease." - The Armchair Librarian


"This book was intense, but in all the good ways. It made me feel things I haven't felt in a long time or didn't want to feel ... it helped me to remember to celebrate life, otherwise what is this all for? Definitely an amazing read and I'm looking forward to picking up the second book in this series." - Addicted to Books


"It takes balls to make your character become entirely unlikable a little over halfway through the book. It takes a skilled writer to bring that character back around so you're pulling for them again. Charlene Carr does both excellently." - Right Here


"An easy read you'll immerse yourself in and lick your fingers with satisfaction when you're done." - The London Adventurer


"The author was extremely honest, and almost painfully so at times. ... This story was definitely somewhat of a revelation for me." - Sabrina-Kate, Novel Escapes
