In misty, coastal Washington State, Isaac lives alone with his dog, grieving the recent death of his teenage son, Daniel.

Separated by only a silvery stretch of trees, the two parents are emotionally stranded, isolated by their great losses until an unfamiliar sixteen-year-old girl shows up, bridges the gap, and changes everything.

Evangeline s arrival at first feels like a blessing, but she is also clearly hiding something. When Isaac, who has retreated into his Quaker faith, isn t equipped to handle her alone, Lorrie forges her own relationship with the girl. Soon all three characters are forced to examine what really happened in their overlapping pasts, and what it all possibly means for a shared future.

With a propulsive mystery at its core, What Comes After offers an unforgettable story of loss and anger, but also of kindness and hope, courage and forgiveness. It is a deeply moving account of strangers and friends not only helping each other forward after tragedy but inspiring a new kind of family.
