San Rafael - A story about love and happiness in their many crooked configurations, this page-turner from Marin-based memoirist Harpham follows a one-of-a-kind family through twists of fate that require nearly unimaginable choices. Profoundly moving and subtly written, Happiness radiates in many directions: romantic love; motherhood; deep, abiding friendship; the passion a parent has for a child; gratitude for a beautiful, inscrutable world; and the many unlikely ways to build a family.
