In Between Dreams - Softcover

Lyrically written, emotionally explosive, the story of Frances and her father is one that will continue to haunt the reader’s thoughts long after the last page is finished. Verjee tells a story of a fractured family, depicting with empathy both predator and victim, suggesting that true healing and transformation becomes possible only in a world of greater compassion and understanding. Her novel is a testament to the ways our society fails to provide adequate resources to a family in trouble and how that lack of help leads only to a heartbreaking cycle of secrecy, suicide, alienation, and more abuse. On top of that, it is also an astonishing and artful debut by an unusually gifted young writer. - Margaux Fragoso, author of Tiger, Tiger
