On the night her best friend says I do, Katie wears the smile everyone expects - the smile of a woman who knows how to celebrate others even when her own heart aches. But beneath the music and fairy lights, she's confronted with a truth she can no longer ignore: she feels overlooked, forgotten, and dangerously close to losing herself.
It Should Have Been Me is a tender, faith-filled Valentine's short story about friendship, hidden wounds, and the quiet battles women fight behind their brightest smiles. When jealousy, disappointment, and unanswered prayers collide, Katie must face the deeper question beneath her pain - and discover what it truly means to trust God's timing.
A story for every woman who has ever whispered, Lord... when is it my turn?
