Stop hiding. Start fighting. Prepare to rejoice.
RCMP Officer Emmy Huong is trained to handle emergencies, but nothing prepared her for the crisis unfolding at home.
When the brutal reality of divorce tears Emmy’s world apart, the genuine connection she’s finding with her new partner, Rafaela Ortega, is a light she can’t ignore. Just as their budding feelings deepen, Emmy’s manipulative ex-husband makes a devastating play: reveal her sexuality to Port Russell and use it against her to shame her into full custody of their sons.
Torn between her family and her heart, Emmy faces an impossible dilemma. She can keep hiding, or she can fight for a life where she doesn’t have to choose between motherhood and authenticity.
With the clock ticking over the course of the fall holiday season toward a dramatic, life-altering Christmas confrontation, Emmy and Rafi must weather the storm if they hope to find their snow-filled happily ever-after and truly rejoice in their future.
Set against the backdrop of the breathtaking forests and rugged coastline of Vancouver Island, B.C., Rejoice is a contemporary, small town, multicultural, single mother heroine, partners to lovers, closed door, sapphic holiday romance.
