LIFE AFTER book review

It could have been me.

Snow whirls around an elevated train platform in Chicago. A distracted woman boards the train, takes her seat, and moments later a fiery explosion rips through the frigid air, tearing the car apart in a horrific attack on the city’s transit system. One life is spared. Twenty-two are lost.

A year later, Autumn Manning can’t remember the day of the bombing and she is tormented by grief—by guilt. Twelve months of the question constantly echoing. Why? Why? Why?Searching for answers, she haunts the lives of the victims, unable to rest. 

Paul Elliott lost his wife in the train bombing and wants to let the dead rest in peace, undisturbed and unable to cause more pain for his loved ones. He wants normalcy for his twelve-year-old daughter and young son, to see them move beyond the heartbreak. But when the Elliotts and Autumn are unexpectedly forced together, he fears she’ll bring more wreckage in her wake. 

In Life After, Katie Ganshert’s most complex and unforgettable novel yet, the stirring prose and authentic characters pose questions of truth, goodness, and ultimate purpose in this emotionally resonant tale,

Life After

MY THOUGHTS: 
5 Stars:  5/5 rating
I can't say enough good things about this book.  The characters could be your sister, your friend, your father because Katie Ganshert makes them real.   They are approachable and have faults as well as good just like the rest of us.  
The book addresses survivor's guilt and family relationships in a sensitive and moving manner.
I highly recommend this book to readers of Christian fiction.
I received a digital version of this book from netgalley and Waterbrook Press in exchange for my honest review.  I was not required to write a positive review and all thoughts expressed are my own.
