Karen White does an awesome job of weaving past and present, mystery and love all into one book. I didn't want it to end.

Karen White is one of my favorite authors and her latest The Time Between did not disappoint. Two separate stories dealing with loss, guilt and secrets locked away in the heart, Eleanor and Helena find a common thread that draws their lives to one another like a magnet. We have all experienced great loss in our lives and, for those losses that hurt the most, have experienced the 'All shut-eye ain't sleep' mode. But like Eleanor and Helene, we all must accept that life is for the living and to merely exist in fear, in solitude or a mundane life without purpose is to like walking in your sleep. For some the shut-eye period can be a few days, a few years, or in some cases, like this story, years or even a lifetime. This is a beautiful story of the depth and strength of love between family; it is a story of loss; it is a story of hidden guilt; it is a story of forgiveness and redemption. The two strong-willed female characters in this story together discover forgiveness, acceptance and renewed hope for the future. A beautiful read and a great discussion book.

Oh, how I loved this story. Karen White, once again you amaze me. I love the characters, they touch your heart and soul and become a part of you as you turn each page. Thank you for sharing this great story as it is one I soon won't forget.

Karen White is a wonderful writer; I enjoyed the novel from the first page to the last. The generation of the two sisters and their stories is great to read.
