Between - Paperback

by Christine Morris (Author)

Some adventures are willingly chosen. Other adventures are thrust upon you. Ila Dean inherited an unusual ability. From a young age, she was taught by her mother to move between worlds. Since her mother left, Ila has spent her teen years creating a safe distance between herself and the rest of the world-even from her closest friends-as she struggled to find a place she truly belongs. But when Ila awoke this morning, she knew something was different. The destruction and chaos of her dream followed her into waking hours, shifting and bending the solidity of her world. Dreaming had never been like this-not with her mother before, or with Mave now-and it was threatening to pull her carefully crafted world apart. When fighting against no longer works, Ila finds herself confronted with the task of letting go of her isolation; transporting her to worlds beyond fantasy and imagination. Ila is thrust into a journey that just might lead her to discover the depth of friendship and the true meaning of home and belonging. Between is an adventure that brings you to the heart of what it means to be human.
