Why read it?

1 author picked Life After as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The sole survivor of a train wreck, Autumn Manning lives crippled with guilt. When she meets the husband of one of the women who died in the wreck, sparks fly, and Autumn’s guilt only increases. And, while very likely the saddest book I’ve recommended thus far, Life After paints a beautiful, cathartic picture of grief that few authors have.

While Life After may elicit a few tears, it is a stunning, beautiful book that I highly recommend.
