Here After is an intimate story of deep love followed by dizzying loss; a stunning, taut memoir from debut author Amy Lin so finely etched and powerful that it will alter readers' hearts.
"When he dies, I fall out of time."
Amy Lin never expected to find a love like the one she shares with her husband, Kurtis, a gifted young architect who pulls her toward joy, adventure, and greater self-acceptance. But on a hot August morning, on the eve of the newlyweds' big move to Toronto, thirty-one-year-old Kurtis heads out to run a half-marathon with Amy's family. It's the last time she sees her husband alive.
Ten days after this seismic loss, Amy is in the hospital, navigating her own shocking medical crisis and making life-or-death decisions about her treatment.
What follows is a rich and unflinchingly honest accounting of her life with Kurtis, the vortex created by such a loss, and the ongoing struggle Amy faces trying to understand her own experience in the context of commonly held "truths" about what the grieving process looks like.
