About the book

When Jack and Cindy meet at a friend's party they are immediately attracted to one another. But neither could have predicted the journey they would take together over the next seven years. From New York to LA, through undisguised passion and hidden secrets, they come to realise the truth about themselves and their feelings for each other.

Cindy and Jack think they have tested their love to its limits and passed with flying colours. But life has other plans, and when Cindy falls dangerously ill, they face their greatest challenge.

Heartbreaking, inspirational and beautiful, STATE OF HAPPINESS captures the truth about love, and the truth about death. It is, quite simply, a tour de force.
