Produktinformationen zu „In the Aftermath (ePub)“
When David Herronoverwhelmed and despairing, his family's business and
finances in ruin due to the bursting lending bubble of 2008takes his
own life one chilly spring morning, he has no idea the ripple effect his
decision will set into motion.
Two years later, his widow, Jules, is now an employee of the bakery she and David used to ownand still full of bitterness over David's lies, perceived cowardice, and ultimate abandonment of her and their now-teenage daughter, Rennie. Rennie, meanwhile, struggles socially at school, resents her work-obsessed mother, and is convinced she's to blame for her father's death.
When Denise, the former police detective who worked (and, due to her own personal struggles at the time, mishandled) David's case, catches sight of Rennie at her sons' school, she's struck by the girl's halo of sadnessand becomes obsessed with attempting to right the wrongs she believes she perpetrated two years ago.
And as all this unfolds in Boston, Daniel, the guilt-ridden young man who, in his old life as a banker, helped create the circumstances that led to David's suicide, continues to punish himself for his sins by living half a life, working odd jobs and bouncing from one US city to another, never staying long enough to make friends or build something lasting.
Ultimately, each of these very different peopleall of them tied together by one tragic eventmust learn in their own way how to say good-bye to the past and move into a brighter future.
