“For the times when we don’t always know how to remember, this book is for you. It’s about the willingness to learn the names of one’s pains and how can anyone be gone when they’re very much a part of your present. Fall for Amy Lin’s Kurtis and his capacity to love as he decisively tells her: 'You weren’t a choice. It was always you.' A lyrical marvel that will hold your heart tenderly, please let it. ”
— Pedro • McNally Jackson Books

Starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews and Booklist
Here After is a poetic, raw depiction of an unlikely love followed by a dizzying loss. A stunning, taut memoir from debut Canadian author Amy Lin that will resonate deeply with anyone who has been in grief’s grasp.
“When he dies, I fall out of time.”
Amy Lin never expected to find a love like the one she shares with her husband, Kurtis, a gifted young architect who pulls her toward joy, adventure, and greater self-acceptance. On a sweltering August morning, only a few months shy of the newlyweds’ move to Vancouver, thirty-two-year-old Kurtis heads out to run a half-marathon with Amy’s family. It’s the last time she sees her husband alive.
What follows is a rich and unflinchingly honest portrayal of her life with Kurtis, the vortex created by his death, and the ongoing struggle Amy faces as she attempts to understand her own experience in the context of commonly held “truths” about what the grieving process looks like.
Here After is an intimate story of deep love followed by dizzying loss; a memoir so finely etched that its power will remain with you long after the final page.
