Every once in a while an author comes along that writes stories that will not only entertain but also truly touch the heart. Ms. Steffen is one of these authors. "Life Happens" is a story that will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you believe in the power of love.

Mya Donohue is in her late thirties, owns her own business and is engaged to a handsome E.R. doctor. What she doesn't have is peace in her heart. She should love Jeff but she doesn't. She cares for him, but she loved once and she won't do it again. Her friends think she's off her rocker, and her mom doesn't have much to say at all. Then everything changes on a dark rainy night. Her past comes back, and she has no idea that the little baby girl she gave up for adoption nineteen years earlier would ever come knocking on her door, let alone have a baby girl of her own. Mya also has no idea that her life is about to change...but life is like that...it just happens.

See Elle is sick with cancer and she wants to find someone that will take care of her baby when she's gone. What she finds instead is a family she thought she'd never have, strength, acceptance, and she helps bring back together her birth parents. They never stopped loving each other and when Dean Laker is faced with his two ladies, all bets are off. He won't loose either one of them a second time.

This story will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you look at your life. Ms. Steffen truly creates characters that jump right off the page and into your heart. This character driven story will stay with the reader long after the final word is read. This read is heart-warming, heart breaking, and a true celebration of life. Ms. Steffen is an author that I highly recommend...just have a rather large box of Kleenex on hand.

Just finished this book. What can I say? Well, the characters jumped off the page at me and I loved each of them. The story was interesting and involved. I lived it, and enjoyed it very much. (Crying and laughing 'enjoyment'.) Mya was introduced first, then Ella and Kaylie, and finally Dean. I won't spoil the ending for you, so I can't say more. My second NEXT book - both excellent.

Loved it. So heart-felt! I am so addicted to these NEXT books. This one in particular just melted my heart.
