If he continued to let his feelings eviscerate him, he'd just be engaging in an emotional cannibalism where, in the end, he'd be even less of a person than he had already become.

In this richly nuanced psychological novel, J.R. Waller chronicles the disintegration of a marriage amidst a backdrop of grief and disillusionment.

Jane and James, a happy small-town couple, have their world shattered when their young son dies in a tragic car accident. In the ensuing fallout, the two enter what they call a “full out domestic war” with each other.

When James's mother has a heart attack, he leaves for Denmark to visit her, and to get away from Jane and his now empty existence. However, due to circumstances outside of James's control, what begins as a trip of escape quickly becomes a journey into the heart of despair.

Both multifaceted and complex, The Moments in Between offers a profoundly emotional lesson about moving forward when sorrow feels insurmountable to overcome.
