After the Rain: A Graphic Novel (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781419743559)

After the Rain is a graphic novel adaptation of Hugo and Nebula award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor's short story "On the Road."

During a violent and unexpected storm in a small Nigerian town, the destiny of a Nigerian-American woman named Chioma is revealed . . . and her life is changed forever. She answers a knock at her door and is horrified to see a boy with a severe head wound standing at her doorstep. He reaches for her, and his touch burns like fire. Something is very wrong. Haunted and hunted, Chioma must embrace her heritage in order to survive.

John Jennings and David Brame's graphic novel collaboration uses bold art and colors to powerfully tell this tale of identity and destiny.
