Between the Lines (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798901831151)

Angela Hayes has spent her life teaching students to read carefully-to notice what is said, what is left unsaid, and what may be hiding between the lines.

Then a jury verdict leaves her wondering whether she has done the same with her own life.

In Chicago, the lives of Angela, her husband Evan, Detective Daniel Harrigan, and powerful executive Marcus Vale begin to intersect in ways none of them fully understands. A seemingly ordinary friendship deepens. An unexpected opportunity carries an unseen cost. Old certainties begin to fracture. And choices that once appeared small reveal consequences no one intended.

As each character confronts the distance between the story they have told themselves and the truth beneath it, they discover that the most important things in life are rarely announced. They are revealed slowly-in conversations, in silences, in acts of loyalty and compromise, and in the quiet workings of conscience.

Set against the streets, offices, churches, and lakefront of Chicago, Between the Lines is a literary novel about friendship and ambition, guilt and grace, and the difficult work of seeing ourselves clearly.

Because sometimes the truth isn't found in what is written.

It's found between the lines.
