Synopsis

After Dad is an unusual coming-of-age story. Despite his untimely passing, a father continues to mold his three children through the sheer force of his personality, and during critical moments in their lives, he seems to reach out by a number of means–from simple memories of touch and voice, to the telling items he left behind, to a sense of his lingering presence. How the children respond to a father who never quite leaves them shapes their destinies in ways they could not have imagined, and leads to consequences that are as moving as they are transformative. Set mostly in Southern California during the turbulent 1960s, Ralph Cohen's debut novel will take you on a roller coaster ride that reveals the enduring impact we have on those around us long after we are gone."Cohen rarely makes easy, obvious choices for his story, which is at turns heartbreaking and funny. He always has a touching or amusing surprise waiting.... A rewarding read that captures stark, knotty reality and its living, breathing characters." -- Kirkus Reviews
