After Sarah Jane

Three years after the death of their three-year-old daughter, Sophia and Beau LeBlanc are still standing.

Their marriage is another matter.

Sarah Jane is everywhere in their New Orleans home—in the bedroom they haven’t changed, the fingerprints Sophia can’t bring herself to wipe away, and the old iPad filled with photographs and videos of the little girl they lost.

Sophia turns on that iPad looking for one of those memories.

Instead, she finds a message from another woman.

I know we agreed to stop. I miss you.

Beau admits the affair is over. The consequences are not.

Because Naomi Prescott is pregnant.

Now Sophia must decide whether the husband she still loves is someone she can choose again—and what it would mean to rebuild a marriage when Beau’s affair has made another woman and the child she is carrying part of their future. 

Surrounded by two complicated Southern families who have never been particularly good at staying out of each other’s business, Sophia is forced to confront grief she never finished surviving, a husband she no longer completely knows, and a future that looks nothing like the one she thought they were rebuilding.

After Sarah Jane is an emotionally layered novel of marriage, motherhood, grief, betrayal, and family, set in the intimate, lived-in world of New Orleans—for readers who love complicated relationships, messy Southern families, and stories about women finding their way forward when there is no easy answer.
