Review Quotes:
"After College understands and speaks to the disorientation that many college graduates experience upon entering the new world of work and adult living. Erica's book is well-grounded in her years of coaching young adults through this transition and offers lots of practical wisdom. Our church in New York City has welcomed many new graduates into our midst, most of whom struggle with the loneliness of professional life, tediousness of lower level jobs and fear of a meaningless life. They need what Erica prescribes: realistic expectations, real community and renewed trust in God's purposes."
