After Here
by Dave Wolffe
GENRE: fiction
PUBLICATION DATE: 01/23/2023
DESCRIPTION:
After Here chronicles the journey of Joe Golden from his fatal car accident through heaven. Both Joe and the reader pass through the seasons of the year, which are artfully captured in vivid, descriptive imagery, through which they meet people who have passed before him. However, Joe is on a mission -- finding his beloved wife who had passed away one year prior to Joe's death.
This story brings to life the afterlife experience in rich, non-religious based provocative detail, offering readers a means to envision a place where their deceased loved ones may be enjoying a peaceful existence. This message can bring deep comfort and encouragement to adult readers who have suffered the loss of a loved one.

REVIEWS:
Dave Wolffe has written a story for everyone. "After Here" is a touching story about what we all hope happens after your time here on earth is finished. Dave has created a gentle tale in the turbulent times we are all living through. "After Here" is a much-needed story that brings us the hope so many of us desire.
A lovely, touching, comforting and easy read. Short and with an interesting twist at the end. Share with those who’ve lost loved ones; as we all have.
A beautiful, warm hearted story of looking for and meeting our loved ones in eternity. That life continues on in the "After Here." A short book that carries a message of love that transcends its size.
This book was very well written. As a widow, the picture of heaven created by Dave gave me a very peaceful feeling that I will be re-united with my husband and the feeling that he is at peace. I definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more of Dave's writings.
