More After the Break by Jen Maxfield
A Reporter Uncovers the Rest of the Story. In More After the Break, Jen Maxfield revisits ten memorable stories from her career as a TV news reporter, describing how the events unfolded, in heart-pounding detail, through the perspective of those who were there and her own. She introduces readers to unforgettable characters who will inspire you with their hopefulness, even when confronting life's greatest heartbreaks, including a young man who lost both legs in a ferry crash, an endurance athlete with stage-four lung cancer; a fifth grader on a doomed field trip, an Ivy League undergrad sentenced to decades in prison, a young woman who gave her life for an animal, and a Wall Street executive on an ill-fated bike ride. Returning to find these people years-even decades-after their stories were featured on the news gives Maxfield an opportunity to ask the burning questions she had always pondered: what happened after the live truck pulled away? What is the rest of the story
