Here After by Amy Lin
DESCRIPTION When he dies, I fall out of time. Amy Lin never expected to find a love like the one she shares with her husband, Kurtis, a gifted young architect who pulls her toward joy, adventure, and greater self-acceptance. On a sweltering August morning, only a few months shy of the newlyweds' move to Vancouver, thirty-two-year-old Kurtis heads out to run a half-marathon with Amy's family. It is the last time she sees her husband alive. What follows is a rich and unflinchingly honest account of her life with Kurtis and the vortex created by his death.
