A fictional story, centered around factual events, After the Beautiful Days chronicles the life of its main character, Letty O'Donnell. Raised in a working-class family, by an Irish-American father and a Colombian mother, Letty lives an idyllic life, full of love, support, and encouragement to succeed. Like her father, Letty is a cheerful optimist, who jumps into life feet first. While she pursues the future her parents envision, she finds love, graduates from college, and naively believes that her charmed life "will always be this way." When faced with tragedy, Letty struggles with emotions that are foreign to her, while becoming a different version of herself. Letty's story is a cathartic tale, addressing the complex issues of love, family, and the unexpected moments that change our lives.
