Praise for After College
“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. New graduates need what Erica prescribes: realistic expectations, real community and renewed trust in God’s purposes.”
