  Two damaged people, one unlikely friendship and a way to find hope in the darkness. 
   
   
  Anna has survived the worst. So has Nat. Two broken souls, struggling to find a place in a world they no longer fit. 
   
  Anna, 62, is the victim of a terrorist attack in which eleven others were murdered. Nat, 35, is an Army veteran who fought in Afghanistan. They have so little in common. And so much. 
   
  A friendship stirs between them, tentative and unlikely, its foundation the violence they have seen and the memories that stalk them. Together, they begin to search for a way back home. 
   
  But when Nat's wife falls unexpectedly pregnant, terrible ghosts from his wartime past rise up and much more than a friendship is at stake. 
   
  Here in the After is a poignant and uplifting exploration of the legacy of trauma and the healing power of connection. 
   
  'Bold, unflinching and courageous, this book dives with sensitivity and compassion into the dark shadows of PTSD to uncover light and acceptance. Heartbreaking and devastating, but luminous, tender and hopeful.' KAREN VIGGERS, author of The Orchardist's Daughter 
   
  'A moving meditation on the toll trauma takes on the body and mind, and the human connection that can be its balm.' VANESSA MCCAUSLAND, author of The Lost Summers of Driftwood
