The two share longing and boundless passion, body and spirit affirming Shakespeare’s words: “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Author Dora Hilburn brings her characters to rich life in a romantic triangle, a tender tale of first love, and a battle of good and evil, ultimately reminding us that love is, indeed, eternal.”—Lois F. Ruby, author of Rebel Spirits and Steal Away Home“In Anna, Hilburn has created a heroine who is real and relatable. One moment heart-warming, the next moment heart-breaking, BETWEEN movingly explores the wrenching choices Anna must make when she discovers love in the unlikeliest of places. The seaside town of Apalachicola provides a beautiful and haunting backdrop for this otherworldly coming-of-age romance.”—Denise Getson, author of Dry Souls“Dora’s lyrical way with story-telling draws you in from the first word and doesn’t let you go until long after the last word. After reading BETWEEN, you’ll never think of ghosts the same way. Dora has hit a definite home run with her debut.”—K. Anne Raines, author of Shattered Grace
