Some choices do not end when they are made.
Jonathan Hampton and Douglas Sanders have been inseparable since childhood-two New Jersey boys convinced that loyalty, hard work, and ambition will eventually lead them somewhere better.
But adulthood delivers something else.
Stalled careers, mounting bills, buried grief, and the growing realization that the rules were never written equally begin to wear them down. As love, resentment, and desperation pull at the lives they have built, one reckless decision places them on a path neither man can fully escape.
What begins as an attempt to take back control sets off a chain of consequences that reaches from their lives in New Jersey to the streets of New York-and draws them into forces far more powerful than either man understands.
Years later, Jonathan enters a Manhattan jewelry store hoping to buy an engagement ring and finally begin again.
Then the world erupts in white light.
Spanning decades, What Follows Us is a gripping literary crime novel about lifelong friendship, love, class, guilt, and the stories people tell themselves when survival begins to look like betrayal.
Because the past does not remain buried.
And some choices keep moving long after the people who made them believe they are over.
