Jason McKenzie has money, loyal friends, and every opportunity ahead of him—but he remains suspended in a life he refuses to move beyond. As the illusion of the life he’s been clinging to begins to crack, Jason finds himself drifting further from the people around him—and from a past he’s never fully faced. A new relationship falters, old bonds fracture, and the future he’s been avoiding becomes impossible to ignore. Set in the early 1990s South, The Space Between is a novel about grief, desire, longing, and the quiet ways we deceive ourselves—until the truth can no longer be avoided.
