All That Was Happy takes a look at the emotional and physical changes that take place in a person’s life when a divorce is initiated. The story opens with our heroine, Beckie, being handed a white envelope from a stranger while at the bank. Stunned, she reads that her husband is suing her for divorce. There had been no discussion, no fights, no apparent clues as to his actions. Over the next several days, Beckie goes through a series of events that open her eyes to her life, her dreams, and her future. She meets a couple of new friends who help her along her journey.

Beckie is a very likeable character. Her victimization touches the soul of every woman. Her husband, the villain, is the typical ex-husband out to do the most harm that he can in what every way he can. Beckie shows her character’s strengths by her reactions, or lack thereof, to his constant badgering. Beckie also meets a couple of female acquaintances that become close friends in the short time frame of the story. One of the women, her therapist, becomes a friend as does another of the therapist's patients. Both help bolster Beckie in her pain and help her in her growth and examination of her life.

I loved the book and feel it is a keeper and a story to be shared. The characters truly were friends to the heroine. The author expertly dealt with the pain and the emotions that a person feels while experiencing a divorce. Not only does the author deal with those emotions, but also the advice and the conversations held by the parties are eye openers for everyone in her dealings with her everyday life. I applauded Beckie in the story and applaud the author, David L. LaGraff, for his excellent writing.
