In the pages of her new novel, Afta-U, author Jennifer-Lynn Keniston of Concord – that’s right, this Concord – takes us into the heart of Jean Cartwright Rhodes, a woman who is struggling to come to grips with the heartbreaking and senseless death of her childhood best friend, Hope. Twenty-nine years after the fact, Jean fights for her very sanity as she confronts the dark web of relationships and intrigue that appear to have been set in motion by a split-second decision she made in the aftermath of the tragedy.
As Jean confronts her feelings, along with specters from her past, she eventually learns that healing and redemption can only be found “after you” fully place your trust in God.
Afta-U is an adult mystery/suspense novel for ages 17 and older. The book is complex and sometimes dark, and filled with Christian messages.
Now here’s the big news: Keniston is going to have a book signing at Gibson’s Bookstore on Nov. 5 at 4 p.m. It’s free to attend, but make sure to bring some coin (specifically $16.99) to snag a copy of the book. After all, it’s not all that often that you get to schmooze with a big-time Concord author, right here in the city itself.
