About this listen

Runner-Up, 2013 Rainbow Award for Lesbian Contemporary General Fiction

Readers everywhere fell in love with Syd, Maddie, David, Michael, Pete, and the irrepressible Roma Jean Freemantle in Ann McMan's 2011 best seller, Jericho. Now, return to the tiny mountain town in the much-anticipated sequel, Aftermath.

Over the past 18 months, Syd, Maddie, and little Henry have become a family, and things are going surprisingly well for most of Jericho's residents...if you don't count the devastating storm that whips through town. In the weeks and months to come, Syd, Maddie, and all of Jericho are forced to pick up the pieces and rebuild their homes, their lives, and their town. The task is sometimes hard, sometimes emotional, and sometimes absurd, but it is always full of smart and sassy humor and an abundance of good food and wine.

Critic Reviews

" Aftermath by Ann McMan is the follow-up to her debut novel, Jericho. It manages to take all of Jericho's strengths and build on them, leaving the [listener] with a story that is often hilarious, occasionally heartrending, and entirely satisfying.... Christine Williams is back as narrator, and again, the narration is excellent. I truly can't imagine anyone else bringing these words to life in the same way." ( The Lesbian Review)

I don’t like the way she made Syd a baggy wife in this book and the banter between the couple is borderline rude. Not to mention the flamboyant best friend who Carrie’s on so much it’s hard to make sense of what is being said
Not as good as the first
Disappointed

Second best

Join Maddie and Syd and the gang in a follow up to the brilliant “Jericho”. Dwell deeply into the lives of everyone in this small town as a tornado decimates their community. Smiles and tears and heartwarming snippets of a life you’d want to lead in real life, in this ”fictional “ town filled with love of community and hope. Of course there’s Ann McMan’s brilliant wit and prose that takes you on this fabulous journey. Her “pop” references are yours as well and you settle down to reminiscing and exploring your own journey as those engaging characters explore theirs. Another amazing narrative by Christine Williams, a perfect choice to narrate the lives of characters you will always cherish.
