The In-Between

Gentle encouragement for all those who live under life's running clock and for those who love them

Kirkus Reviews

The combined beauty, faith, and compassion found in each patient's death is meaningful and sublime

Theresa Brown, author of 'The Shift'

Vlahos's compassionate, beautifully written book contains profound wisdom

Katy Butler, author of 'The Art of Dying Well'

Tender and transformative . . . it makes dying feel like a peaceful, dynamic, and nourishing event

Christie Tate, author of 'Group'

Extraordinary ... helps dispel fear around death and dying - revealing it to be a natural part of our soul's evolution

Laura Lynne Jackson, author of 'The Signs'

Here's what you need to know about Vlahos's memoir: It's heartfelt without being woo-woo, and it's not as sad as you'd expect it to be. Vlahos walks readers through her time caring for 11 patients (names, identifying details and medical information have been changed) and her mother-in-law, who died in 2018. Her tone is gentle, refreshingly forthright and befitting of a professional who tells us what to expect from an event that has launched a thousand euphemisms.

Gentle, refreshingly forthright ... helps readers wrap their minds around - and perhaps make peace with - the great unknown
