Higher Love – Book Three in the Unbreakable Texas Women Series

What will Lauren sacrifice in the name of Higher Love?

At sixty-one, Lauren has finally found a peaceful life with Brett. Then a teenage girl arrives at her door: Stephanie, claiming to be her granddaughter, the child of the baby Lauren gave up for adoption over four decades ago. Family secrets split open. With Brett’s steady presence beside her, Lauren must raise a wounded, complicated girl while confronting the past she thought she had buried.

Told in raw, alternating chapters from Lauren’s and Stephanie’s points of view, Higher Love traces the long reach of intergenerational trauma and the uneasy dance between blood ties and chosen family.

When financial disaster threatens Stephanie’s future, Lauren sacrifices nearly everything to send her granddaughter to college. Then a bittersweet twist of fate—one that echoes the deepest regrets of Lauren’s own youth—forces the family to find a new way forward.

An unflinching multi-generational saga of extraordinary emotional depth, Higher Love will resonate with readers of Mary Beth Keane, Ann Patchett, and Elizabeth Strout.
