Three Page-Turning Novels in One Volume !Where Yesterday Lives At thirty-one, Ellen Barrett has already won a Pulitzer prize. Sadly, though, her skill as a journalist far surpasses her ability to sort out her troubled past.

When Joy Came to Stay Maggie Stovall is trapped inside a person she's spent years carefully crafting. Now the truth about who she is - and what she's done - is bursting to the surface and sending Maggie into a spiral of despair.

On Every Side After suffering the loss of his mother and separation from his sister and the girl he loved, Jordan Riley fills the holes in his soul with anger. But Faith begins to disassemble the walls around Jordan 's heart, and he realizes there's something very familiar about her...
