More Than Soundbites

I'm a newshound, have been accused of being an ambulance chaser and spent several years in broadcast journalism. For these reasons, Jen Maxfield's book "More After the Break" greatly intrigued me. Very well written and goes beyond the sound bites. Maxfield's book completes the stories. She writes about the conversations that took place with family and victims years after the first breaking news - with great variety of accidents, terrorist attack, sickness, etc. Maxfield's work puts flesh on the bones and shows how life not only happens to us, but continues on afterward. This book will help make you feel better about the world because even with the bad stories - good can happen later out of them. I was advanced a copy through NetGalley without any obligation for a positive review.
