Charlotte survived four long years as a prisoner in the attic of
her kidnapper, sustained only by dreams of her loving family. The
chance to escape suddenly arrives, and Charlotte fights her way to
freedom. But an answered prayer turns into heartbreak. Losing her
has torn her family apart. Her parents have divorced: Dad's a
glutton for fame, Mom drinks too much, and Charlotte's twin is a
zoned-out druggie. Her father wants Charlotte write a book and go
on a lecture tour, and her mom wants to keep her safe, a virtual
prisoner in her own home. But Charlotte is obsessed with the other
girl who was kidnapped, who never got a second chance at life--the
girl who nobody but Charlotte believes really existed. Until she
can get justice for that girl, even if she has to do it on her own,
whatever the danger, Charlotte will never be free. "For all of us
who have watched the chilling news of kidnapped females rescued and
thought 'There but for the grace of God' and 'How do they go
on?'...here is the answer fully imagined, exquisitely written,
ultimately triumphant. You will cry all the way through this story
but you will not put it down." ~Jennifer Echols, award-winning
author of Going Too Far "Kensie deftly explores what happens after
the supposedly happy ending of a nightmare. But nothing is as
simple as it seems--not even the truth." ~April Henry, author of
The Girl I Used to Be; Girl, Stolen; and The Night She Disappeared
"A captivating story of self-(re)discovery, Clara Kensie's
Aftermath introduces us to Charlotte, a sixteen-year-old girl
trying hard to reclaim her place in a family decimated by her
kidnapping four years earlier. Charlotte wants only to catch up to
her twin Alexa and live out all the plans they'd made as children,
but finds the journey back to 'normal' is not only hers to take.
Charlotte is a heroine to cheer for...with gut-twisting bravery and
raw honesty, she takes us through that journey--back to the
unspeakable tortures she endured in captivity and forward to how
those years scarred her family, leaving us intensely hopeful and
confident that she will not merely survive, but triumph." ~Patty
Blount, author of Some Boys; Send; TMI; and Nothing Left to Burn
"Delving deep into the darkness of abduction and its 'Aftermath,'
Kensie takes us on an unflinching journey of healing, courage, and
triumph of the human spirit. Heartbreaking, yet stubbornly
hopeful." ~Sonali Dev, author of A Bollywood Affair and The
Bollywood Bride "Aftermath is a timely, powerful portrait of hope
amid tragedy, strength amid brokenness, and the healing power of
forgiveness." ~Erica O'Rourke, award-winning author of the Torn
trilogy and the Dissonance series "Gripping, powerful, deeply
moving, Aftermath is a book I didn't want to end. It's written with
such compassion that it will help readers heal. A must-read."
~Cheryl Rainfield, author of Scars and Stained A Children's Book
