The ability to rise back up from heartbreak, trauma, or extreme disappointment is at the center of Jessica N. Turner’s book, “I Thought It Would Be Better Than This: Rise from Disappointment, Regain Control, and Rebuild a Life You Love.” The title came up during a conversation Turner had with friends.

After sharing her own heartbreaking story, Turner stated that she thought things would be better than this; her friends all replied that they, too, felt that same sentiment. Turner took that response as a sign to write this book.
