In Between is a collection of poems that celebrates faith, hope, and love, but recognizes the prevalence of doubt, anguish, and hate.
In the first chapter, "Faith and Doubt," Conlon expresses doubts she has wrestled with, hoping to bring light to an aspect of a religious person's journey that is not always given much attention.
The second chapter, "Hope and Anguish," explores both emotional and physical pain. Conlon shares her struggles with PMDD, endometriosis, and adenomyosis. Alongside raw depictions of pain, this chapter carries an enduring thread of hope.
"Love and Hate" celebrates God's love, romantic love, platonic love, and self-love, highlighting love's breadth. This chapter also acknowledges the existence of hate in the world, which Jesus, too, faced.
This is not a story of darkness to freedom. It is a weaving of the light and the heavy and everything in between.
