He was loved by everyone he met...even if he kept them guessing.
This Was Not the Plan is an honest and tender memoir about love, loss, and the long road forward.
When Jennifer Farley's husband died unexpectedly, she was left to raise their three young boys on her own, navigating heartbreak, fear, and the overwhelming weight of trying to be everything they needed. What followed was a decade of learning how to keep moving when the path disappears beneath you.
With brave transparency and quiet strength, Farley invites readers into her family's journey through moments of despair and hope, isolation and unexpected grace. She reflects on the power of community, the courage it takes to accept help, and the steady presence of faith when answers feel far away.
Whether you're supporting someone through grief or searching for light in your own darkness, This Was Not the Plan is a reminder that healing doesn't mean having it all figured out-it means choosing love, again and again.
