Review by Vickie Adkins
 

Jan Coleman bridges the gap for every woman who feels she's alone in a hurtful experience. Broken promises and ruined dreams are shared among many through the author's vignettes from women she knows well.

Coleman shares stories of women who have survived the death of a child, divorce, bankruptcy, abuse, and the loss of a mate -all ruined dreams. Drawing from the Book of Joel, the aftereffect of this pain is compared to a swarm of Locusts, swooping down and devouring everything in their site.

Jan encourages readers that their lives will be restored as promised in God's word, especially the Book of Joel. Reading After the Locusts was a breath of fresh air, and a reason to sigh with relief. Knowing that others have gotten through horrible sadness, but also grown, flourished, and learned, reassured me that with time and with God, we can all heal.

An encouraging book, After the Locusts leaves you hopeful and refreshed. Jan Coleman's ability to draw the reader into her circle of friends causes you to feel welcome and not alone. A former journalist and humor columnist, Jan's down-to-earth qualities are spelled out on every page. You realize she's not only been there and done that, she's helped others along the way as well.
