"A love-letter to mothers, lovers, and the celebration of culture." -Publisher's Weekly BookLife, Editor's Pick

When Hyosun's estranged son dies, she discovers his estate is empty and his fianc e has vanished. Searching for answers means confronting everything she refused to see: the life Jason built without her, the woman who understood him, and the cultural divide she never tried to cross.

Through Carrie's journal and a journey to Chicago, two grieving women circle each other-one who raised him, one who loved him, neither able to move forward alone.

J.S. Vaughn's debut novel is a meditation on the distances we create and the impossible work of closing them. Vaughn is also the author of Remanence.

Customer Reviews

"The Tree Of After Life" is great novel by an upcoming author.

"The Tree Of After Life" is great novel by an upcoming author. J.S. Vaughn tells a tail of love, opportunities taken, and opportunities lost with a little bit of mystery mixed in. From the first chapter to the last page I was riveted. Once I started reading "The Tree Of After Life", I could not put it down. I wish that I had 10 copies so that all of my friends could read it, too! I just received my copy of his new book, "Remanence" and I cannot wait to jump into that story!
