When level-headed Amara meets the artistic, free-spirited Henry one sunny summer day by the ocean, their future looks sweet and bright. From the back of Henry’s motorcycle, Amara learns to take risks, seize the day, and follow her heart.
Meanwhile, high school sweethearts Nathan and Cece prepare for an unexpected baby and all the changes and challenges premarital parenthood will bring, especially under the pressure of Nathan’s conventional parents. Nathan is frightened, but determined to be a better, warmer father than his dad has been to him. Cece seems to be more preoccupied by how her postpartum wedding dress will fit than how a baby will fit into their lives. Will this grow them up - or break them up?
Out on their own, life has finally started for both couples and they are determined to make the best of it - until life chaotically intervenes. Illness, accidents, recriminations, and guilt toss all of their plans to the winds. In this thought-provoking story of love, death, and what remains, life continues on, whether they are ready or not.
In Life After Death, Jamie Hitchcock tells the moving story of what happens when life doesn’t work out as planned - and the beauty that beckons instead.
