First time in paperback -- from the powerful author of Birdy, Dad,
and A Midnight Clear, the acclaimed memoir about a family tragedy,
recovery, and spiritual renewal.
Here is prize-winning novelist William Wharton's most personal
book and his first work of non-fiction. Ewer After won rave reviews
from readers and critics. It is the true story of the events that
changed Wharton's life and gave him a belief in an afterlife -- the
story of the tragedy that killed his 36-year-old daughter and her
family in a highway collision, told amazingly from his daughter
Kate's point of view, as well as his own.
"Wharton is an accomplished storyteller...I was not aware of
having developed any terrific attachemnt to Kate during the first
five chapters. She seemed a decent, attractive young woman. Not
Mother Teresa or Marilyn Monroe. But when Wharton hears she's dead,
I burst into tears...I don't know how it happened, but this
ordinary woman had become as real to me as is most anything else in
my ordinary life". -- Benjamin Cheever, Los Angeles Times Book
Review
"A piercing cry from the heart, a resounding call for reform --
and that rare thing: a unique book". -- Kirkus Reviews
