Book Overview
Hypnotic and beautifully written, Aftermath of Dreaming is an incandescent first novel of odern life and love. Other than the little problem that she is waking up screaming in the middle of the night, life is wonderful for Yvette Broussard. Her jewelry-design career is taking off, she's back with her sort-of boyfriend, and, best of all, she no longer thinks about her once-in-a-lifetime love, international movie star Andrew Madden. Until a chance encounter with him changes everything. Swept up by memories of their complex relationship, Yvette is plunged into an obsession with Andrew that ultimately forces her to confront the past she thought she had left behind. At the same time, she is juggling the demands of her bride-to-be sister and her male best friend, who is jealous of other men, and thoughts of her estranged father. Set against the glittering worlds of Los Angeles and New York, and told with both humor and pathos, Aftermath of Dreaming explores the universal themes of abandonment, forgiveness, and letting go.

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
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
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.

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.
