AfterNow reminds us to see and appreciate what we have and what we want to realize even in an extremely tough situation - such an important notion to remember in our time filled with all sorts of disasters.

Just like the author himself, the book is filled with warmth, wisdom and authenticity. I highly recommend this book to all who are survivors of disasters, and those who are supporting recovery work.
