Staff Picks Life After by Katie Ganshert (Adult Fiction)

Life After by Katie Ganshert

This haunting tale follows a tragedy on the tracks, an explosion on a train that changed twenty-two people’s lives forever. I was hooked from the start.

 "We rarely know when death will come…..Some are warned in sickness - But others - meet death without any warning at all, in an unforeseen moment that wrenches consciousness in two, separating the living from the dead.

That’s how it would come on this particular evening for twenty-two individuals."

This author pulls out all the stops as she has readers experience the loss along with twenty-three families. I loved this author’s unique attention to detail that dropped me in the middle of this event. She introduces a variety of rich exceptional characters I could connect with. I loved how the author mixed in a few surprises and twists I didn’t see coming. It made for a heartfelt, page-turning, unforgettable read, that would make a great book club pick. Katie Ganshert is one to watch! This book's a keeper.
