The Hours In Between

One moment can change everything, and life will never be the same.

For Liz Taite, the co-owner of a posh Manhattan gallery, the revelation that she has only a few months left to live is more than a wake-up call. So, she does exactly what most people wouldn't do: she leaves her seemingly blessed life––minus the cheating husband––and sets out to begin a new adventure.

Ignoring her fears, Liz boards a train to Los Angeles to be nearer to her children and embarks on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. To make sense of the unraveling of her life, Liz begins to write a journal in which she feels free to express her thoughts and fears and tell the story of her life.

Living in the moment and with as little regret as possible, Liz slowly settles into her new reality. And just when she thought she had it all figured out, a series of extraordinary people entered her world. Among them are a talented gardener, a retired basketball player, and a realtor named Susan who quickly becomes her friend.

Susan not only leads Liz to an enchanting house with a history but also introduces her to Sam, a captivating veterinarian, who steals her heart and opens up a world that she never thought possible.

In this bittersweet and emotional love story, Olivia Barry explores profound questions that will make you think long afterward and wonder if it's ever too late to begin a new life.
