![]() ![]() ![]() As each character ?begins to connect with another, the mysteries and consequences of their lives are revealed. There's retired third-grade teacher Sadie Randolph, who has taught every child in town and believes we are all eight years old in our hearts Stanley Stone, a prominent lawyer, now feigning dementia to escape life with his son Marge Walker, the town's self-appointed conveyor of social status, who keeps a scrapbook of every local murder and heinous crime Rachel Silverman, recently widowed, whose decision to leave her Massachusetts home and settle at Pine Haven is a puzzle to everyone but her C.J., the pierced and tattooed young mother who runs the beauty shop and Joanna Lamb, the hospice volunteer who discovers that her path to a good life lies in helping people achieve good deaths. And the residents, staff, and neighbors of the Pine Haven retirement center (from twelve-year-old Abby to eighty-five-year-old Sadie) share some of life's most profound discoveries and are some of the most true-to-life characters that you are ever likely to meet in fiction. Life After Life is filled with a sense of wonder at our capacity for self-discovery at any age. Award-winning author Jill McCorkle takes us on a splendid journey through time and memory in this, her tenth work of fiction. ![]()
