I wrote The Space Between because there are lives shaped in silence that deserve to be named. So much transformation happens not in dramatic moments, but in the ordinary spaces — kitchens, corridors, car parks, late-night conversations with ourselves. This book is about endurance: the quiet kind that looks like loyalty and duty until it begins to feel like disappearance.
The story grew from years of observation — of how people learn to make themselves smaller, how survival can masquerade as stability, how motherhood deepens strength even as it absorbs identity. It explores the moments before change becomes visible: the pauses, the private calculations, the thresholds crossed long before anyone else realises a life is being re-routed.
Ultimately, The Space Between is for anyone who has stood between the life they are living and the life they sense might be possible. For those who stayed longer than they meant to, loved harder than was safe, or learned to breathe in rooms that grew too small. This is not a story about escape. It is a story about interruption — about choosing, slowly and bravely, to take up space again.
