A sweeping tale of love, loss, and the extraordinary price of forever.
When spirited young Joan falls for a charismatic travelling actor, she believes she's found her place in the world -- one filled with passion, adventure, and the unpredictable rhythm of life on the road. But everything changes the day her family is caught in the Siege of Calais in 1558. A mysterious healing potion from the famed John Dee saves their lives... and binds them to a secret that defies nature itself: immortality.

Centuries later, in 1977 London, Joan wakes in a hospital -- alone, voiceless, and with her memory shattered. Her husband stands accused of an unthinkable crime, and her immortal son is missing. As fragments of her past resurface, Joan must confront the truth behind her family's curse and the devastating consequences of a single fateful kiss that once shattered her world.

Blending historical drama, emotional depth, and a touch of the supernatural, Joan: Put on a Happy Face is the first book in The Elixir Chronicles -- a dual?timeline fictional memoir that explores the endurance of love, the burden of secrets, and the haunting gift of eternal life.

Perfect for readers who enjoy rich historical settings, character?driven storytelling, and mysteries that span generations.
