Everything After
Adam has already lived his life. Then something impossible happens.
In the summer of 1991, eleven-year-old Adam and his two best friends are doing what boys do best: wasting time, testing limits, and believing the people beside them will always be there.
Then one stupid mistake changes everything.
Adam survives. He grows up. Childhood gives way to adulthood, friendship to loss, and eventually to love, marriage, children, and a family of his own. Life becomes ordinary in all the ways that make it worth having.
Until, decades later, the impossible forces Adam to question everything he thought he understood about the life he has lived.
What follows is not simply a question of what happened, but what Adam is willing to do with what he knows, what he refuses to lose, and whether loving someone gives him the right to decide what comes next.
Everything After is an emotional speculative novel about friendship, family, grief, memory, and the terrible weight of knowing what might come next.
