Quindlen is the author of a number of bestselling books, including the No. 1 New York Times bestselling novel "Rise and Shine," the No. 1 bestselling memoir "Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake," and "A Short Guide to a Happy Life." Her other novels include "Blessings, One True Thing," the Oprah Book Club selection "Black and Blue," and "Still Life with Bread Crumbs."

Quindlen’s trademark wisdom on family, friendship, and the ties that bind are at the center of her newest novel, "After Annie," about the power of love to transcend loss and triumph over adversity.

When Annie Brown dies suddenly, her husband, her children, and her closest friend are left to find a way forward without the woman who has been the lynchpin of all their lives.

Bill is overwhelmed without his beloved wife, and Annemarie wrestles with the bad habits her best friend had helped her overcome. And Ali, the eldest of Annie’s children, has to grow up overnight, to care for her younger brothers and even her father and to puzzle out for herself many of the mysteries of adult life.

Over the course of the next year what saves them all is Annie, ever-present in their minds, loving but not sentimental, caring but nobody’s fool, a voice in their heads that is funny and sharp and remarkably clear. The power she has given to those who loved her is the power to go on without her. The lesson they learn is that no one beloved is ever truly gone.

Written in Quindlen’s emotionally resonant voice and with her deep and generous understanding of people, "After Annie" is about hope and the unexpected power of adversity to change people in profound and indelible ways.
