Coming April 1st 2025
Ari’s life hasn’t gone as expected. Can she find the energy to rebuild?
​
A year after her divorce, Ari’s struggling to find her footing. When she’s tasked with organizing her annual getaway with her childhood friends—women she’s become increasingly disconnected from—she wonders if she’s up for the challenge. But Camp Waawaate might just be the escape she needs.
​
From the moment they arrive, the cracks in her friendships are impossible to ignore, and Ari feels more alone than ever. Until she meets Lor, a charming Irishman working at the camp. With his easy humor and thoughtful presence, Lor makes Ari question everything she thought she knew about herself and what she deserves.
​
As days at the camp turn into unexpected nights, Ari begins to see glimmers of hope in places she’d long stopped looking—in friendship, in love, and in herself. But when the getaway ends, will she have the courage to carry these changes back into the real world? Or is this new version of Ari destined to remain a fleeting summer memory?
​
Heartfelt and uplifting, More Than Before is a story of rediscovery, second chances, and the transformative power of love—even when it’s unexpected.
Leah's Books
Leah Omar was born and raised in a small farming community in Minnesota, before moving to Minneapolis where she realized that a bookstore on each corner and the ability to disappear into anonymity was more her jam.
​
When Leah's not busy writing women's fiction and romance, she can be found watching a basketball game on TV, traveling somewhere far away, eating something spicy, or trying to shape the lives of her two amazing kids.
​
Leah's debut novel "A Labor of Love" was released in April of 2021. She has since released additional books, "Between Sunsets," "The Lives Between Us," and "Between Then and Now."
And because she loves almost nothing more than creating beautiful and complex characters, many more novels are forthcoming.
