From the author of the acclaimed "New York Times" bestseller "Sister" comes a compelling, thrilling story of a mother who will do anything to protect her child.
The school is on fire. Her children are inside.
Grace runs toward the burning building, desperate to reach them.
In the aftermath of the devastating fire which tears her family apart, Grace embarks on a mission to find the person responsible and protect her children from further harm. This fire was not an accident, and her daughter Jenny may still be in grave danger. Grace is the only one who can discover the culprit, and she will do whatever it takes to save her family and find out who committed the crime that rocked their lives.

Powerful and beautiful, with a riveting story and Lupton's trademark elegant style that made "Sister" such a sweeping success, "Afterwards" explores the depths of a mother's unswerving love.
