What Comes After by JoAnne Tompkins

4.0

Two boys, childhood friends, but growing apart more and more, clash one fateful day and both lose their lives as a result. The fall out leaves both parents at odds and bereft. Yet, into the breech comes an unexpected gift. A girl left abandoned and pregnant appears one dark and stormy night. Maybe together the scattered pieces of a found family can be assembled. Very mystical in a Quaker way. A beautiful meditation on love, life & death and the pieces of light and dark inside us all.
