      About This Book

      The New York Times bestseller from Rosellen Brown, Before and After—the basis for the major film of the same name starring Meryl Streep Liam Neeson—tells the extraordinary story of a family's struggle to survive the throes of a tragedy.


      Carolyn and Ben Reiser moved to Hyland, New Hampshire with their two children for the comforts of rural life. But when the local police chief comes looking for their seventeen-year-old son Jacob to question him about the brutal murder of his girlfriend, the Reisers' lives begin to unravel.

      A compelling story that will capture you in the opening scene and hold you through its shocking conclusion, Before and After is a stunning novel that pits parent against parent, brother against sister, family against community, blood loyalty against law-as "deep questions of loyalty, honesty, and love are forced to the surface in this psychologically riveting tale."
