The Happiness Debt: What Would You Sacrifice for Someone You Love?
The Happiness Debt (Novel)
Every family has a story about the year everything got better all at once. Ethan Cole's family has one too.
The year his mother's health scare vanished overnight. The year his blind brother finally got the gallery show he'd chased for seven years. The year the woman Ethan loved got the one break her career had needed for as long as he'd known her.
Ethan knows exactly why it happened.
He's the only one who does.
It started with an estate-clearance job-an ordinary Tuesday, an old woman with no family left to claim her, and a locked room no one else thought to open. Inside, Ethan found a black journal. At first, it seemed impossible. Then it started answering him. The journal offers gifts. Miracles, almost. Small changes that ripple outward into better lives. A saved career. A second chance. A future that should have been lost.
For a while, Ethan believes he's helping people.
For a while, he's right. But every gift leaves a mark. Every page carries a cost. And somewhere beyond the journal's careful promises, something has been keeping count of everything Ethan has ever asked for.
Now the debt is coming due.
As the people he loves begin drifting toward dangers they never agreed to face, Ethan discovers a terrifying truth: the price was never meant to be paid by him alone. To save them, he'll have to choose how much of himself he's willing to lose. And whether love can survive when the person you're saving may never remember you existed.
The Happiness Debt is a haunting, emotionally devastating novel about love, memory, sacrifice, and the impossible cost of protecting the people who matter most.
Perfect for readers of Death Note, The Midnight Library, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and A Monster Calls.
Some debts can be paid with money.
This one can't.
