Finally at peace with the mistakes of her disastrous first marriage, Anna Kaklis is ready to experience love again, and Lily Stewart is the woman she will fight to keep forever. As she gathers her courage to go to the next level with Lily, she is suddenly handed the reins of Premier Motors. It’s an irresistible opportunity, and Lily’s support is crucial. Believing she has it, Anna throws herself into her long-cherished dream of building the family business into a powerhouse empire.
Anna’s good fortune thrills Lily, but the demand on Anna’s time does not—the sacrifices required for Anna’s success grow more and more difficult to make. Inevitably, Lily’s lifelong insecurities leave her feeling a distant second best. When tragedy strikes, her old habits take over.
If life was perfect and the future a sure thing, Anna and Lily would walk off into the sunset together. Instead, they stand on shaky ground. Anna will fight to keep Lily forever, but what can she do when the fight isn’t hers?

Kathleen –
Aftershock is a brutally honest look at how deeply alcoholism can impact the lives of everyone involved. But the journey back is poignant and frank. I simply sat in awe as Anna refused to lose Lily.
It was as beautiful as it was blunt. Tender and tenacious. Loved it.
