The Space Between Dark and Light
Joe Geist is desperate. His brother Jared has vanished, and Joe, usually a roll-with-the-punches type, begins a frantic quest to uncover his missing brother's fate. The search leads him to an enigmatic homeless mystic, Sir Davies, who claims to know what happened to Jared. Anne Miller, a quick-witted freelance reporter, agrees to help Joe after discovering a link between Jared's daughter and Sir Davies. One hundred years after Jared disappears, civil society is collapsing in the wake of environmental devastation. Seven-year-old George escapes when marauders invade his home. The next morning, convinced his sister has fled to safety, he sets out to find her. Set in the present and the future, these two separate stories unfold until an astonishing revelation connects them. Written from the viewpoint of multiple characters, at its heart lies the metaphysical question "Can the future redeem the past?"
"A time-crossed climate fiction story as thrilling as it is urgently relevant."

About the author
Jan Krause Greene
5 books35 followers I live in a suburb of Boston. I was raised in a suburb of Washington, DC. I came to Boston to attend Boston College and I have been here ever since. Odd, because I really don't like winter.
I have five sons,four grandsons and one granddaughter. While raising my kids, I wrote Homefront, a popular newspaper column chronicling my life as mother, teacher and writer. Currently, I am the occasional co-host of a cable television show, Oneness and Wellness - a good news Show. I also present my original poetry at a variety of venues. I describe myself as a seeker and visionary, whose poetry and fiction examine life's big questions from the perspective of characters both young and old, struggling to understand their place in the world.
I formed my opinions about life at an early age and they haven’t really changed much since then – I believe war does not create lasting solutions, love will be the real revolution, and the human heart can expand until it holds love for the whole world.
I have been a teacher, a newspaper columnist, a bank teller, a house cleaner, an executive director of a non-profit dedicated to education advocacy, a diversity trainer, AIDS activist, a group facilitator, and a waitress. Whatever it took to raise 5 kids and remain true to my values. I can’t carry a tune, but I love to sing and don’t know any steps, but I love to dance!

Riveting, Thought-Provoking and Compelling! Don’t miss this reading opportunity!
Exquisitely written, captivating characters, mystical at times, set in both the future and the present, hair-raising, hopeful, and filled with truth and fiction and all the blurred lines in-between. The author had me completely in the palm of her hands. I fell in love with Jan Krause Greene’s multiple stories weaving its turns and twists. Keeping me guessing. “The Space Between Dark and Light” is THE story of our times in terms of climate change and human choices. We have a choice to save the earth, or not. We are doing magnificent action steps to save it, and we are also doing horrific action steps to destroy it. Which actions will win? This book has all the mystery, intrigue, hopelessness, hopefulness, and unlimited possibilities one could ever ask for, and this journey is not to be missed.
