by Calais Zagarow Schroeder (Author)
Just six months after graduating college and starting her young professional life in New York City, Calais Zagarow Schroeder's 26-year-old sister Briel was diagnosed with Stage III Colorectal Cancer. Over the subsequent four years, Calais navigated the juxtaposition of supporting her family through Briel's illness and treatment while also undertaking her own journey of self-discovery. A Life In Between is Calais' testimony on the personal, and yet also universal, experience of loving, losing and continuing to live in the face of prolonged trauma and grief.
Zagarow Schroeder's rich, moving prose gives voice to the human experience of the unpredictable relational swings that unfold in the face of an unwanted ending. For those who have had to push through their own periods of grief, this memoir is the story of learning to live in the in-between of joy and sorrow, hope and loss, and how embracing the grey "in between" can set you free.
