Publisher's Summary

A story of hope, courage, and perseverance.

Carol misses red flags about Joe’s need for control before she marries him, dashing her dreams for herself and her family. Trouble escalates after their daughter Ellie is paralyzed by the polio virus and Joe returns from WWII. Carol realizes how brutal waking life can be, and she conceals bruises and protects her children the best she can.

The Moments Between Dreams is a captivating story of a 1940s housewife who conforms to the rulebook of society until Joe pushes her too far. His constant intimidation shrinks Carol’s confidence while she tries to boost Ellie’s. Church-going neighbors in Carol’s tight-knit Polish community are complacent, but Sam, a handsome reporter, stirs up Carol’s zest for life. Despite impossible circumstances, Carol plans a secret escape. Along a risky path, she empowers her daughter to know no limits and teaches her son to stop the cycle of violence and gender discrimination.

Amazing novel

As someone who doesn’t read or even listen to any books very often or at all I would definitely recommend this book, especially because I have never really heard about any stories like this one, especially about tuberculosis and the recovery afterwards. I am a young reader, this story was quite interesting to me, and I would definitely like to read another one of her novels in the future. I’d be very pleased to see that she’s published another book even if I have not found it yet, then I’d be so glad to listen to it. After meeting her in real life and hearing about her story, I was very inspired by it and decided to take a listen, and I just couldn’t stop listening. This story intrigued me, and I would love for anybody else to have the chance to hear it as well. Please give it a try.
