After November Ends

When seventeen year old Mia loses her mother to illness, the house on Elm Street becomes a place of silence and then of fear. Grief fractures what remains of her family, forcing Mia to confront a painful truth that love and safety are not always the same thing. Fleeing a home she can no longer trust, she finds refuge with her best friend Ruby and Ruby’s steadfast mother, where she begins the slow work of rebuilding her life by returning to school, preparing for college, learning to bake, and discovering the strength of her own voice. As memories of her mom linger, gentle, guiding, and protective, Mia learns that survival is not only about escaping harm but about choosing herself again and again. Set against quiet American winters and small town hallways, After November is a tender and unflinching coming of age novel about grief, resilience, and the courage it takes to leave what hurts even when stepping into the unknown, but will Mia be brave enough to claim a future that is finally her own?
