The Morning After

""The Morning After is a beautiful portrayal of struggling to understand God's purpose, of redemption, and of accepting God's unconditional love."" Allison K. Garcia, author of The Buscando Home Series ""Raelee May Carpenter has an amazing gift for crafting authentic journeys of redemption and the lovely, broken souls that take them... Carpenter's powerful storytelling seamlessly weaves together themes of forgiveness, faith, joy, and love to deliver a narrative that inspires hope and witnesses to the reality of spiritual transformation."" Chloe S. Flanagan, author of Changed Somehow and Where Do They All Belong? ""It would be easy to fill a novel like this with platitudinous lessons and one-dimensional 'good' people and 'bad' people. But instead, Raelee May Carpenter brings natural, believable characters to the page in a nuanced story that's authentic and redemptive."" Nadine C. Keels, author of World of the Innocent ""The Morning After is a heartfelt exploration of how the relationships of our past can determine the way we shape relationships in our future, or in our eternity. When Matt and Molly find their futures entangled by unexpected parenthood, every weak point in their relationship comes under scrutiny-and strain. While Matt does everything possible to escape identifying with his uninvolved father, Molly struggles with her over-involved mother. Deeply insightful, The Morning After addresses how the wounds of our formative years continue to show up in the present."" Jane Lebak, author of The Adventures of Lee and Bucky series ""While there is a great deal to praise about The Morning After-strong characters, a compelling story, and an easy, clever writing style that draws you in-I think what stands out the most is the message about family. Because family isn't necessarily your blood family--it's the people who show up for you, time and again, and the people that you choose to be a part of your life. And that's really one of the deep themes of Matt and Molly's love story--both of them growing together to find the family they were set to find on Earth.""
