The characters are one of the greatest strengths of the books set in Jericho. ![]() Everything changes in the sleepy mountain town, however, when a storm blows in with huge consequences. Maddie is still the town doctor, Syd is teaching at the high school, and they’ve built a solid relationship with Maddie’s mother, Celine. Maddie and Syd are settled into their life on Maddie’s farm, raising their foster son Henry while his father is deployed in the Middle East. However, it’s not crucial because Aftermath has a Foreword with a synopsis of Jericho and a list of characters, delivered by the deliciously bitchy David Jenkins, Maddie’s best friend. It manages to take all of Jericho’s strengths and build on them, leaving the reader with a story that is often hilarious, occasionally heartrending, and entirely satisfying. ![]() Aftermath by Ann McMan is the follow-up to her debut novel, Jericho. ![]()
