Sometimes the most important moments in life happen in the Space Between big events. Moving seamlessly across genres and generations, this collection captures the full, messy spectrum of the human experience. You will be pulled into gripping political noir, following brilliant chiefs of staff and sharp-elbowed journalists as they navigate the cutthroat, adrenaline-fueled world of California politics. You will experience heartfelt coming-of-age tales as you watch a new era of ambitious interns, collegiate athletes, and grieving sons take their first, uncertain steps into adulthood.
And at the center of it all is a core group of lifelong friends-flawed, fiercely loyal, and navigating the beautiful complexities of mid-life. From a reformed sportscaster preparing to marry his late best friend's widow to a private investigator trying to bridge the gap between his glory days and his daughter's future, these men are learning that moving forward doesn't mean leaving the past behind.
Space Between is a masterclass in linked narrative. With sharp humor and unflinching honesty, these stories explore the gravity of our choices, the echoes of our mistakes, and the enduring power of found family.
