The Space Between Time

by Lucinda Sage-Midgorden

Life is not going well for Jenna Holden. Her live-in-fiancé walks out. Her estranged mother is in a terrible accident that may kill her. And instead of the promotion she’s expecting at her book editor job, she’s fired. Jenna must return to the small town where she grew up to recoup. With all that’s happened she sees no future for herself.

But then, in her mother's attic, Jenna finds journals written by a long-dead ancestress. They transport her to another time and place, giving her access to the thoughts and feelings of another woman, also alone in the world, who is facing similar trials of heartache and loss. Reading them somehow gives Jenna an escape from her own pain and sorrow, yet offers a doorway to resilience, healing, and the joy of a supportive love. Jenna need only find the self-knowledge and courage to step through, into that space between time.

About the author

The power of story has always enthralled Lucinda. As a child she enjoyed watching and discussing movies with her family. Reading was also a favorite pastime in her home. These favorite family past-times led her to pursue degrees in theatre. She’s been a theatre artist, drama and English teacher, which eventually led her to writing. Her first published work is Scottosaurus The Little Dinosaur, which was originally a gift for her oldest nephew when he was six years old. However fun writing children’s books may be, writing fiction is her main goal. Her first novel, The Space Between Time, will be published sometime in 2014. In 2013, she began writing a weekly blog, Sage Woman Chronicles. You can also find her on Facebook, Twitter, and She Writes.

Reviews

[Judy · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is quite apparent that I have a relationship with the author of this book. Lucinda Sage-Midgorden is married to my son Barry. Because of that connection you should expect some bias in my evaluation of the book. However, there is another factor that may offset my favorable bias, and that is that I don't really like and read very few in this genre. When I look at a book that is classified as time-travel, paranormal, or sci-fi, I usually skip it. I wanted to read Lucinda's book to support her. She has worked for many years to complete this novel, and I know the editing and re-writing that she went through. Well, imagine my surprise when I found myself engrossed in the book and connecting to the characters and the story lines. I deeply respect anyone who writes a book, and Lucinda has produced a complicated novel that involves two different characters that are separated by years. At first I liked the sections with the historical character, Morgan, because my favorite genre is historical fiction. But I also became involved in the troubles that Jenna is facing in her life. It is interesting how these two women separated by time, but connected through family come to help each other deal with their problems. Many times the things these two women learn about facing life is good advice for anyone. I really did enjoy the book, and I hope many more will purchase it and find it as good a read as I did!
