What Really Happened to Me

By Ellie Barker

A sweet and wholesome romance set in the charming Strawberry Village about healing hearts, unexpected hope and the courage to write your own happy ending.

Sometimes losing everything is the only way to find yourself.

Grace Leven seems to have it all--CEO of a national TV channel, a picture-perfect family and a life others envy. But behind the glossy fa ade, cracks are forming. Her career is on the line, her marriage has crumbled and her best friend has disappeared.

Lost and alone, Grace stumbles upon the Strawberry House Hotel, a haven in the idyllic Strawberry Village. Here, surrounded by a community that values truth and connection over social media perfection, Grace begins to ask the one question she's been avoiding: What really happened to me?

Heartwarming, empowering and beautifully reflective, What Really Happened to Me is a story for every woman who's ever wondered if there's more to life.
