Author Dave Wolffe discussing his latest book "After Here"

All of us have experienced a void in our lives created by the death of someone special to us;

 be it a spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or a dear friend. Wouldn’t it be consoling to

know your loved one is in a comfortable environment in which he/she shares with others.

In the story, “After Here,” the main character, Joe Golden, finds himself in just such a

setting after his fatal accident. Follow him in his journey, as he is determined to be reunited

with his deceased wife Arlyne, who passed away a year before him.
