A tender and poignant love story with a ghostly twist. Becca Fitzpatrick, bestselling author of Hush, Hush and Crescendo
Twisting together chilling mystery and sweet romance, Hereafter leaves the possibilities of a world unseen lingering in your mind and your heart long after you`ve turned the final page. Andrea Cremer, author of Nightshade
Tara Hudson is a brand new author, but her fascination with ghosts goes back to childhood days spent with her
grandmother, who would take her out to a strange cemetery guarded by rusted iron gates and tucked into the
mountains of south-eastern Oklahoma. Only later did she learn that this place was her family's graveyard. Ever
since, she`s continued to visit cemeteries - with her two closest girl friends. After a particularly eerie visit, she
began writing a story to entertain them, imagining a ghost girl, Amelia, and the living boy who can truly see
her. It became `Hereafter', the haunting story of loss and first love.
