"Aftermath is a timely, powerful portrait of hope amid tragedy, strength amid brokenness, and the healing power of forgiveness." ~Erica O'Rourke, award-winning author of the Torn trilogy and the Dissonance series Heartbreaking, yet stubbornly hopeful." ~Sonali Dev, author of A Bollywood Affair and The Bollywood Bride "Delving deep into the darkness of abduction and its 'Aftermath,' Kensie takes us on an unflinching journey of healing, courage, and triumph of the human spirit. Charlotte is a heroine to cheer for.with gut-twisting bravery and raw honesty, she takes us through that journey-back to the unspeakable tortures she endured in captivity and forward to how those years scarred her family, leaving us intensely hopeful and confident that she will not merely survive, but triumph." ~Patty Blount, author of Some Boys Send TMI and Nothing Left to Burn Charlotte wants only to catch up to her twin Alexa and live out all the plans they'd made as children, but finds the journey back to 'normal' is not only hers to take. "A captivating story of self-(re)discovery, Clara Kensie's Aftermath introduces us to Charlotte, a sixteen-year-old girl trying hard to reclaim her place in a family decimated by her kidnapping four years earlier. But nothing is as simple as it seems-not even the truth." ~April Henry, author of The Girl I Used to Be Girl, Stolen and The Night She Disappeared "Kensie deftly explores what happens after the supposedly happy ending of a nightmare. You will cry all the way through this story but you will not put it down." ~Jennifer Echols, award-winning author of Going Too Far "For all of us who have watched the chilling news of kidnapped females rescued and thought 'There but for the grace of God' and 'How do they go on?'.here is the answer fully imagined, exquisitely written, ultimately triumphant. Until she can get justice for that girl, even if she has to do it on her own, whatever the danger, Charlotte will never be free. But Charlotte is obsessed with the other girl who was kidnapped, who never got a second chance at life-the girl who nobody but Charlotte believes really existed. Her father wants Charlotte write a book and go on a lecture tour, and her mom wants to keep her safe, a virtual prisoner in her own home. Her parents have divorced: Dad's a glutton for fame, Mom drinks too much, and Charlotte's twin is a zoned-out druggie. But an answered prayer turns into heartbreak. The chance to escape suddenly arrives, and Charlotte fights her way to freedom. Charlotte survived four long years as a prisoner in the attic of her kidnapper, sustained only by dreams of her loving family.
