The Girl in Between: A Novel Inspired by a True Story

By Susan Eleanor

The Girl in Between
Amazon Book Description
Beth learned early that survival sometimes meant becoming whatever the people around her needed her to be.
Growing up in a family shaped by love, abandonment, secrets, and silence, she spent much of her life searching for the one thing she could never quite hold onto: the certainty that she was worthy of being loved.
She could be joyful, reckless, fiercely devoted, and painfully vulnerable. She made choices that hurt the people she loved and endured choices made for her. Through marriage, motherhood, addiction, loss, and a violent event that would alter the course of several lives, Beth kept moving between the woman she showed the world and the girl she kept hidden inside.
At the center of it all was Joe-the man she loved through separation, consequence, and years that should have made loving him impossible. Their story was never simple, and neither were they.

Told through the eyes of the family who watched, remembered, and eventually came to understand her differently, The Girl in Between is a novel inspired by a true life. It is a story about the damage families pass from one generation to the next, the silence we mistake for protection, and the complicated truth that a person can be broken and beautiful, selfish and generous, responsible for harm and still deserving of understanding.

Some people leave behind a simple story.
Beth left behind a storm.
