" Aftermath is a page-turner. Alec Klein writes with passion and power, candor and compassion, heartache and humor about his personal transformation after his career came to an abrupt end. I laughed; I cried; I learned. Aftermath is an essential read for anyone concerned about the excesses of Title IX on college campuses today--and curious about the journey to creating a new life from the depths of despair. Unforgettable." --Cynthia Hanson, veteran journalist and feature writer for national women''s magazines "[Alec Klein] holds nothing back as he shares his often-humiliating journey from the depths of despair to a newfound life of faith in God, who indeed gives beauty for ashes to all who seek the truth that will set them free." --Renee Relf, founder, Dreams Realized Productions and author of Accused "Alec''s witty style and engaging story impelled me to turn the pages. The injustice is crushing, the journey toward hope is uplifting and encouraging.
" --Vicki Thorp, a former associate pastor " Aftermath is a searching, and searing, portrait of life in modern day exile. Klein accomplishes the near-impossible--he relays an emotionally eviscerating experience with intellectual clarity, makes a compelling case for his innocence, and explores profound and nuanced themes of great social importance, all in crisp and accessible prose. Anyone who wants to understand the collateral consequences of trial-by-Twitter--a defining feature of our current cultural and political landscape--should read this book." --Jonathan Kaiman, writer and former Beijing Bureau Chief for the Los Angeles Times "In Aftermath , Alec Klein shares a truly emotional account of the consequences that false allegations of sexual harassment have had on his [and his family''s] life. It is an account of genuine pain, professional ruin and social shunning but ultimately also of hope and wisdom--Alec''s wisdom not to react with anger, but rather with forgiveness towards his accusers. A must-read book for anyone keen to understand how it feels to be falsely accused of sexual harassment in the post Me Too world where allegations of such a nature too often are akin to guilt in the court of public opinion, regardless of their actual merits." --Andreas Wellinger, an investment banker from Austria who was falsely accused before being exonerated in a U.K.
court of law "I have hope for others when you see how Alec Klein stood again, despite what he went through, an unfair, life-shattering and horrible situation. He uses wit and humor to keep the reader engaged and teach us determination and faith can turn around our lives." --Dawna Mosburg, prison reform advocate and former school principal " Aftermath is intense, written with passion and courage. As Alec Klein went through storms in his own life, he continued to fight for justice for others who have been wrongfully accused or excessively sentenced." --Kathy Peacock, founder, Jehovah Jireh Women Christian Recovery Center and program manager for Stand in the Gap Ministries " Aftermath is a must read for everyone. It''s a prime example of just how devastating false accusations can destroy and disrupt anyone''s life. You''re sadly mistaken if you think you''re invincible; trust me, it can happen to anyone, even you." --Michelle Murphy, the first and only woman in Oklahoma history to be exonerated after being wrongfully convicted of a murder she didn''t commit and serving 20 years of a prison sentence of life without parole " Aftermath contains chilling details of how basic decency was brushed aside in the search for culprits, but also a lesson that the shunned have value.
Klein''s resilience, thoughtfulness, and concern for others should give pause to those who advocated for MeToo''s punitive nature." --Michael Tunison "The story is really interesting. It''s not the traditional apologetics book, but it could speak to a class of skeptic out there. Give it a try." --Nick Peters, Deeper Waters.
