This book is a must read for anyone who has endured the nightmare of a false allegation, or knows someone who has. --Shelley S. Dempsey, Esq., board director, Families Advocating for Campus Equality Alec is such a great writer. In Aftermath, he's so funny at his own expense, as much as his story broke my heart, the extreme silent suffering that he took on. The lesson in the book is amazing--about kindness and forgiveness. He's been through hell and back. What also comes through in the book is his vast knowledge of criminal justice, and his experience with prisons and offenders made Another Chance Justice Project go from a really good idea to a well-established and respected team of freedom fighters. Alec's commitment and leadership made our purpose clear with intent. I learned about the criminal system--the good, the bad and the ugly--but the best lesson I learned from Alec was how words of truth can actually set people free. --Trish Davis, co-director, Another Chance Justice Project 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
