What People are Saying

  • “Joyce Maynard has, again, managed to tap flawlessly into the voice of a teenage girl: part hope, part fiction, and all heart. After Her is page-turning mystery, wrapped in a beautifully rendered story of sisterhood; and reading it is a journey through one’s own memory of what it meant to be thirteen, when the world was equally terrifying and fascinating. Books this compelling just don’t come around very often.”

    ~ Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author on After Her

  • “A deeply moving novel that sheds necessary light on that sometimes tenuous but deeply enduring love between daughters and fathers.”

    ~ Andre Dubus III, author of the New York Times bestselling House of Sand and Fog
