Timothy J. Crawford’s Between Sunset and Twilight takes us on a page-turner through a gauntlet of relationships: romantic, casual, platonic familiar, death, and also, in fact, family. The protagonist is searching for answers as to how and why his relationships work and how and why his loves didn’t work. He learns how to move on and continue. One can’t help but put themselves in his shoes while reading this enjoyable and suspenseful story. Using the medium of a religious journey makes the plot twists a dynamic marvel. I applaud.
