Before and After: A Novel

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."
