Produktbeschreibung
How can family rifts be healed when problems from the past keeps pulling them apart? Moving to Kitchener hasn't been an easy transition for Juliana. So, when Juliana's first dance practice at her new studio goes horribly wrong and her dad dismisses her feelings, Juliana snaps, unleashing years of resentment over his job as a truck driver. With no one to talk to, Juliana turns to the only thing that has given her comfort in Kitchener: her great-grandmother's sketchbook. Elisabeth needs her father now more than ever: a wedding on his side of the family means she must spend time with his hateful family members without him there to protect her. But his cousin Georg is different. Not haughty like the others, he suffers from frightening nightmares from the war. Everyone fears Georg, but the more Elisabeth gets to know him, the more she believes Georg's fits are not what others claim them to be. As Juliana and Elisabeth struggle with the conflicts in their families, they come closer to understanding the long-held pain that caused them. With a little empathy and understanding, could both girls find a way to close the distance between them and their family members before their pain becomes a permanent scar on their relationships? The Distance¿is the second book in Lori Wolf-Heffner's contemporary/historical series,¿Between Worlds. If you love history, the arts, and family ties, pick up a copy of The Distance and enjoy a story that spans generations.
Autorenporträt
Lori Wolf-Heffner is the author of the young adult series Between Worlds and the sweet romance series Love on Belmont. Inspired by her great-grandmother's story, Lori wrote and published Between Worlds 1: The Move in 2018. In this series, girls strive to grow up according to their dreams. Whether Juliana today is still trying to discover her life's goals or Elisabeth in 1920 dreams of fulfilling her community's expectations of her, it's up to them to decide what paths they want to follow. In 2020, Lori wanted to branch out into a series for adults that would still have connections to her favourite neighbourhood and even to Between Worlds. Books and tea went well together, but she knew that basing a series in a real but very small location like Belmont Village came with a high level of responsibility: readers might assume that what Lori wrote about had actually happened in real life. She approached the owner of All Things Tea, the real tea shop in Belmont Village, to ensure she could create a fictional tea shop in a romance series. She was given the green light, and Love on Belmont was born.Lori was an inaugural member of the Canadian National Tap Team, wrote and submitted a Star Trek novel in her teens (it was rejected-she needed an agent), and spent one day twice in Luxembourg and 15 minutes once in Switzerland. She can also do cartwheels.
