HETTY HAPPENS is second in a series following Hetty, a now seventeen year old girl, as she navigates her way through an ever increasingly difficult decision to support the marriage of Morgan Morganthal to Katrinka Wallace.
Hetty is lovesick and miserable, yet not even her kindly parents know. She can't speak about the one she loves. He'll soon marry someone else. Does she suffer from a youthful crush or is it lasting love? Gentle, imaginative Hetty can fix other peoples’ problems, but can she repair the damage she's caused with her foolish promise?
Follow Hetty as she makes the confusing, and often heartbreaking, transition into adulthood and the path to finding her true love.
