After Lucy - A Novel

Porter Ellis once believed he would be a famous painter -- until a decade of eking out a living as a graphic designer crushed his dreams. Suddenly his wife, Lucy, dies of breast cancer, and Porter discovers that he can't deal with her parents. Sneaking out of town with his twelve-year-old daughter and eight-year-old son, he sets out on an adventure that he hopes will mend their broken hearts. Along the way, chance encounters with a number of eccentric and amusing characters help him realize that he must face his sorrow and restart his life. Hilarious and poignant, After Lucy is a wild ride through family relationships, emotions, and hopes for the future.
