Timely Fiction by Katie Ganshert

Life After by Katie Ganshert

Tragedy on the Tracks, a bomb which exploded on a Chicago train, killed 22 innocent people.  Autumn Manning, the sole survivor, can’t seem to move past the accident.  After waking up from a coma she receives unsolicited letters from 12 year old Reese Elliott, whose mother died in the bombing.  Autumn is very surprised when Reese sends her a pair of diamond earrings owned by her mother.  As she seeks to do the right thing and return the diamond earrings, Autumn finds herself in an awkward relationship with deceased Vivian Elliott’s family.  It is a relationship that has the potential to heal her or drive her further into guilt.

I thought this book was very well-written.  The characters were engaging.  The plot was well-paced.  The topic was timely.  The author left me wanting to read more.  I enthusiastically recommend this book.   I received a digital copy from the publisher in exchange for this, my honest review.
