Nin has no recollection of her death. The things she does remember, like her cruel boyfriend, troubled father, and absent mother, she'd like to forget. Dylan doesn't need to remember his death to know that he deserved it. Who needs memories when you have the scars? Sparks ignite when the two, very different, strangers meet. Together they spend one endless summer exploring their new world. Suddenly, their after-lives hold more possibility and promise than their tragic teenage lives ever did. But no dream lasts forever, and all too soon, harmful memories from their pasts emerge and threaten to tear them apart. Given the chance to change their fates, Nin and Dylan must decide-- life or love. Weaving through past and present and alternating perspectives, The Hereafter is an emotional journey about young love and second chances.
