WALSH, DAN
WHAT FOLLOWS AFTER

In 1962, life was simple, the world made sense, and all families were happy. And when they weren't, everyone knew you were supposed to pretend.For the past year, Scott and Gina Harrison have been living a lie. While they show up at family get-togethers in the same car, they've actually been separated for over a year. To keep up the charade, they've even instructed their sons, Colt and Timmy, to lie--to their grandparents, their teachers, and their friends.

Colt, for one, has had enough, so he hatches a plan. He and his little brother will run away from their Florida home, head for their aunt's house in Georgia, and refuse to come home until their parents get back together. But when things go terribly, terribly wrong, Scott and Gina must come to grips with years of neglect and mistrust in order to recover their beloved sons, their love for one another, and their marriage.

In this emotional story, bestselling author Dan Walsh takes you on a journey to rediscover the things that matter most in life--love, truth, and family. With profound insight into the heart of a hurting child, he reminds us that a time will come to look back on hard times and smile, because we'll know that what follows after . . . is not what we expected at all.

My Review:

Walsh knows how to deliver a page-turning read filled with the complexities of life that are all too real. Impeccable pacing drives the delivery of this story at a breakneck speed. Multiple viewpoints enhanced the depth of the read for me; cranked up the suspense, made the romance more poignant, and the inspirational message more powerful.

I devoured What Follows After in a couple of hours. The author's words flow smoothly - sparse where they need to be, but no less descriptive for their brevity. He pulls me in and holds me an emotional hostage until the last word is spent. Love basking in the residual awesomeness of books like this.
