Publisher's Summary:
"There were seconds, when I woke, when the world felt unshrouded. Then memory returned."
When Jessica regains consciousness in a French hospital on the day after the Paris attacks, all she can think of is fleeing the site of the horror she survived. But Patrick, the steadfast friend who hasn't left her side, urges her to reconsider her decision. Worn down by his insistence, she reluctantly agrees to follow through with the trip they'd planned before the tragedy.
"The pages found you," Patrick whispered.
"Now you need to figure out what they're trying to say."
During a stop at a country flea market, Jessica finds a faded document concealed in an antique. As new friends help her to translate the archaic French, they uncover the story of Adeline Baillard, a young woman who lived centuries before - her faith condemned, her life endangered, her community decimated by the Huguenot persecution.
"I write for our descendants, for those who will not understand the cost of our survival."
Determined to learn the Baillard family's fate, Jessica retraces their flight from France to England, spurred on by a need she doesn't understand.
Could this stranger who lived 300 years before hold the key to Jessica's survival?

Excellent, beautiful story
I knew the moment I picked up this book it was going to be amazing and I was right. The Space Between Words is one of those books that is simply magical. It's warm and friendly and heartbreaking and full of adventure. This story takes the reader all over France an England in both Modern Times and in the 17th century. I don't remember the last time I cried while reading a book but this one made me cry. It challenged my faith and caused me to step back and take a look at what I have been taught about history, particularly church history, and how we treat those different than ourselves. Well written, with wonderful, relatable characters, this book will surprise you, intrigue you, and make you see life a little differently after you've finished it. I highly recommend this book.
