𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀…! I had the pleasure of meeting author T. E. Williams at the Arts and Authors Extravaganza. After speaking to a room of authors about book reviews, Williams thanked me for the information I shared, and gifted me three of her novellas. 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀…! is one of them.

𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 I feel like I went blindly into this book. Although I read the synopsis, it didn’t quite capture the essence of the story. Therefore, when I started this journey with Missy, I had no clue what I was in for. Now, I must admit, I don’t typically read novellas. And as a result, when I began reading the book I was a little perplexed by how quickly the plot jumped from one time period to the next. But once I wrapped my mind around the fact that this is a novella, and not a novel, I was able to process the rapid movement. From there, I anchored into the story. My appreciation began to increase. The more I read, the more I wanted to read. Missy went from being an overly sexualized child, to a young mom, military wife, turned drug queen pen. Although she had navigated life’s difficult terrain. Nothing would prepare her for her final battles. I was blown away by the unexpected plot twists. Although she may have cause some of her own troubles, my heart broke for Missy. #tearjerker 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀…! took me on an emotional roller coaster. It was worth the ride. Thank you T.E.Williams for gifting me a copy of your book. I can’t wait to read the next two.
I loved this book so much I read it twice! This book will let you know that whatever you are going through, God is always watching you! You must read this book!
