The Price of Happiness

By Stephen G Hardy

2025 BookFest Award Winner
As Search for Complete left off, the birth of his twins had just completed Christopher. However, though he has what he had searched so long for, he now must deal with the associated costs, namely the unraveling of his relationship with Laura, the mother of his twins. The birth of the twins should have brought Laura joy, yet, instead, she finds herself on an intense emotional rollercoaster. Laura resents Christopher's happiness-resents that he is a better mother than she is. But most of all, Laura resents that the twins are Christopher's spitting image-nowhere does she see herself in them. Christopher fears his happiness in becoming a father has become Laura's undoing. As he tries to help her adjust to the reality of their situation, Laura struggles to find herself in the tangled mess of their relationship.
In The Price of Happiness, Stephen Hardy has created a profound and moving novel on the themes of parenthood, identity, love and loss-and the cost of getting what we want.
