The Staircase Between Us: A story of two girls, one school, and a century betweenthem (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798198873346)

Some places hold more than memories.

When high school senior Adelaide discovers a hidden diary beneath a loose floorboard, she finds herself pulled into the world of Cora Mae-a student who walked the halls of McClain High School a century earlier.

Through Cora's writings, Adelaide begins to experience life in 1914; the opening of the remarkable new school, the expectations placed on students, the rhythyms of small-town life, and the quiet decisions that shape a future.

As the two stories unfold across generations, Adelaide starts to question her own choices, her plans after graduation, and what it truly means to grow into the person you hope to become.

Set against the backdrop of the hsitoric McClain High School in Greenfield, Ohio, The Staircase Between Us is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about legacy, purpose, community, and the ways places can shape us long after we leave them behind.

A story of two girls, one school, and a century between them.
