The Years In Between
Lori Hopkins, an only child, loses her parents to a devastating storm while she sleeps soundly in a fallout shelter she decorated for Christmas. Her grandmother, Lottie, discovers Lori as rescue workers sift through the above-ground carnage. Lori’s sudden loss of family leads to a life in harm’s way as an acclaimed photojournalist to test out her own fate and destiny. Through her camera’s lens, she witnesses historic milestones in the United States and world stage that haunt her already damaged psyche. A series of adventures and misadventures follow her to the cultural cities of Europe, the jungles of Vietnam, the bustle of New York City, and Boston, and finally home in the wide plains of Texas. Lori’s personal relationships, a patchwork of disappointments and triumphs, shape her paramount journey to the truth.
“Anyone who has felt their world shatter and had to summon the will to live and grow and find meaning in life will relate and find a message of healing, hope and love.”
Michele Chynoweth, Bestselling Author of The Faithful One, The Peace Maker, The Runaway Prophet and The Jealous Son
Book Reviews
A Page Turner!
I read this book in just a few days. It was a real page turner! It accurately portrayed real-life with all of its challenges but showed how even the darkest days can bring light.
Uplifting but Real
Reading The Years in Between allowed me to revisit history, relate to friendship, courage and persistence, and reminded me, most of all, that family gives us the connections and love we need to live life to the fullest no matter what comes our way.
Memories
The author did a wonderful job on this book I grew up in the 50s and 60s and this book goes up until 2019 and I remember all the things the author wrote about from the Kennedy assassination and Vietnam War and more. This was a trip down memory lane.I recommended this book.
Enlightening!
Anthea Piscarik has delivered another “I can’t put it down” novel in her latest book, “The Years in Between: the Miriam Chronicles, Book 2”. As Lori attempts to heal from the unbearable childhood trauma of a tornado that changed her life, she encounters a world she had not anticipated. Challenges, temptation and danger intertwined with the joy she finds in her work, family and friends, who seem to “show up” when she needs them most, are a window into just how interesting the journey of life can be. A book that will inspire you to consider the progression of your own life and the circumstances, work, family and friends that have been a part of it!
