Broken-hearted Beacon Hill boxer, Jill O'Keefe falls into a tailspin after Alex, her boyfriend of fifteen years, leaves. Grief gives way to obsession when mourning their separation becomes a fixation. Everyday, she battles painful memories and struggles to forget but the world relentlessly reminds her of all that they shared and refuses to let her let go. Alone and desperate, she reaches out for help but pride prevents her from truly seeking it. With no friends to check on her and family too busy to notice, she falls prey to daemons that haunt her round-the-clock. On Halloween night, she nearly surrenders to her depression but is saved by a most unlikely hero: the jack-o-lantern she carved named Jack. Jack and Jill promptly fall in love, but society does not look kindly on their relationship. When she finds herself locked up in Night Lantern Asylum with no set release date, Jill realizes that she has taken commitment too far and struggles to let go of both Jack and Alex. Through the horror, she crafts a secret plan to restore her peace of mind but can she endure what it takes to achieve it? Always a fighter, the fiery redhead soldiers on through the mayhem, seeking to forge a future, and hoping for a light at the end of her tunnel. The reader takes a journey through Jill’s psyche: facing demons head-on, contemplating vengeance and morality, deliberating on justice and patient rights. Diary entries, conversations with Jack, and private thoughts reveal her politics as well as her personality: posing questions about the nature of life and love, forever and today. Supernatural and humorous elements add a fascinating flavor to a dark adventure. Tumbling After: Through Jill’s Eyes is a gothic novel exploring the eternal struggle between hope and darkness and how, occasionally, the two unite to achieve a thrillingly dramatic resolution.
