Customer Reviews

nearly impossible to put down

The book pulls you in right away and you find yourself engrossed, unable to stop reading so you can find out what happens next. It is vivid, funny, and poignant as it details issues we all can relate to - growing up, letting go, and finding our path in an active way.

Aftermath of Reading

Delaune Michel's novel had me laughing at the insanity that is Los Angeles, dizzy from the overwhelming energy that is New York at 18, and breathless with the obsession of love. With her heroine, Yvette, she takes us on the perilous journey of finding our way in life - beautifully capturing both the frailty and hidden strength of the human spirit. Hers is a voice of honesty and humor wonderfully infused with the honey sweet gentility of the south. The aftermath of reading this first novel was anticipation for her second.

Follow This Author

This deeply felt first novel is a wonderful read. Both funny and poignant, DeLaune Michel's unique and talented voice tells the story of Yvette, a Southern transplant living in Los Angeles. Yvette narrates her story of love, longing, and self-discovery with wit and humor. This novel will touch deeply anyone who has struggled on a personal journey to find what is really important to them in life. I found myself engrossed in Yvette's search-- and enlightened by the insights revealed by Michel along the way.

Aftermath of dreaming

Delaune Michel is a strong female voice for modern literature. She has the talent to not only speak to ALL women but with such truthful obsevations and beautiful imagery I would follow her anywhere. What a treat!

I experienced every emotion reading "Aftermath...." The story is written so beautifully, skillfully and with such a real voice that while reading the book I felt like the author was in the same room with me telling me her story.
