The Light Between

I was mid-air between Seattle and Denver when I had my third heart attack.

What I remember most is not the pain. It is one clear thought: my children are waiting for me.

In the operating room the world fell away. A door stood slightly open. Ten figures of gold-white light gathered around me, silent, loving, unafraid. A message arrived without words: Not yet. You still have love to give.

The Light Between is the true story of a mother and grandmother who survived a stroke, years of cardiac illness, and a crossing she cannot explain by charts. It is a book about the love that called her back, the body that remembered the fear, and the quiet proof that we are not alone.

If grief has touched your life, or if you have ever asked what waits beyond the last breath, this slim companion is offered with a whole heart.
