Author Description

Ari’s life hasn’t gone as expected. Can she find the energy to rebuild? A year after her divorce, Ari’s struggling to find her footing. When she’s tasked with organizing her annual getaway with her childhood friends—women she’s become increasingly disconnected from—she wonders if she’s up for the challenge. But Camp Waawaate might just be the escape she needs. From the moment they arrive, the cracks in her friendships are impossible to ignore, and Ari feels more alone than ever. Until she meets Lor, a charming Irishman working at the camp. With his easy humor and thoughtful presence, Lor makes Ari question everything she thought she knew about herself and what she deserves. As days at the camp turn into unexpected nights, Ari begins to see glimmers of hope in places she’d long stopped looking—in friendship, in love, and in herself. But when the getaway ends, will she have the courage to carry these changes back into the real world? Or is this new version of Ari destined to remain a fleeting summer memory? Heartfelt and uplifting, More Than Before is a story of rediscovery, second chances, and the transformative power of love—even when it’s unexpected.
