Publisher's summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

New York Times bestselling author and country music superstar Jana Kramer reveals how she said goodbye, started again, moved on, and trusted God after her marriage came to a sudden end.

The Next Chapter is Jana Kramer’s intimate and moving account about setting her life back on the right path after her sudden divorce. Chronicling the year that follows, Jana relives personal stories of early traumas and past relationships, and with raw honesty she shares topics dear to her heart and music, including hearing God, loving oneself, navigating setbacks, female friendships, grief, and motherhood.

As she grapples with questions such as: Am I doing this right? Is this the truest truth? Is there more to life than this? she finds and tells a story of freedom and redemption. Relatable to anyone who has walked a road of change, heartbreak, or grief, readers will be encouraged by the wisdom Jana finds in that distinct and critical transition from chaos to clarity, as she plants seeds for her future to begin the next chapter of her life.

Personal and profound, The Next Chapter is about being truly alone for the first time, and the road traveled from heartbreak, pain, and anger to forgiveness, confidence, and peace.

FAN GIRL LOVE!

Even if you aren’t as obsessed with Jana Kramer as I am, every human being should read this book. Perks if you listen, it’s like a long Wine Down episode that you’ll devour in one day. It is wholeheartedly and authentically amazing, but I’d expect nothing less from JK. I’ve loved Jana since One Tree Hill and have followed along since then. I remember feeding my newborn 2 years ago and listening to the podcast of her announcing her divorce, all 3 of us crying (even the newborn). Here we are 2 years later and I’m listening to The Next Chapter while rocking my newest newborn to sleep. Even if you don’t personally resonate with the story, I recommend it 10/10. Everyone can use AFGO. If you don’t know what that means stop reading this and go read The Next Chapter!!!

so encouraging

I cried so many tears as I binged this book..her vulnerability, bravery and strength through some incredibly traumatic and difficult times is inspiring and encouraging. It is a raw and ultimately beautiful story of a woman finding herself while walking with God, told in a way that feels like it’s coming from a friend, and you’ll leave feeling uplifted and motivated to do the hard work.

This Book Has Changed Me

I will look up & stop looking down, I will find a way to get the help so I can learn to love myself & know I am worthy of so much. Just some of what this book has opened my eyes to. Regular therapy for so many years has not helped & your words Jana has made me finally realize why. Thank you for being so honest and raw, I finally know what I need to do and how I can achieve. Congratulations on finding you again & all your happiness. You are an amazing woman & mama.

LOVED

I truly loved this. Jana’s words regarding self love and growth are those that I needed but wasn’t sure how to vocalize.

Jana, your voice is amazingly soothing to listen to. Please consider being an audiobook narrator.

Jana is amazing again!

I love that the story is more self help and not as in depth about all the bad. I went through a divorce around the same time and I connected so strongly with so much that she put in this book. Seriously amazing!

Love!!!

I will now forever refer to my girl squad as My Queendom! This is a book every woman needs to read. It’s not only for those who have gone through divorce, but any trauma or hardships. Going now to throw rocks in the river. Thank you, Jana!!
