Publisher's Synopsis
"At the 90th floor, the stairwell door was propped open. There was a window facing the North Tower, and all you could see was this massive hole. Just blackness. Dad's grip on my hand tightened. The building was eviscerated."Emma Jenkins can't remember the day her father died. When tragedy gripped the nation, it hit home for Emma. Forced to flee Manhattan, leaving behind her dreams and childhood, Emma found a way to steady her life, to build around the gaping hole. Now, after three years, she returns to New York to begin a new future-and face her past. But when the memories come back, she is confronted with lies she was forced to believe. Caught between her present and her past, will Emma accept her memories as truth...or find a way to erase them for good?Told with both compassion and candor, After Henry is a provocative story about a girl who finds love, and then finds love again. Reader Review: "After Henry is a multi-layered read, and a beautiful commentary on the resiliency of the human heart. This is by no means an 'easy' novel, but a deeply satisfying, beautifully told emotional journey, fearlessly exploring uncomfortable truths of trauma, grief, and growth-whilst somehow still maintaining an inspiring message of hope."Note to Readers: This is a standalone novel. While it contains a central love story, it does not follow the classic genre conventions of "romance." If you're looking for a good romance, email the author for recommendations: [email protected].
