But over time, I came to realize Pop Pop was on the Other Side A spiritual game-changer . . . For those suffering a terrible loss, you will find peace and comfort in her story. For those who question the afterlife, you will become a believer." --Laura Schroff, author of An Invisible Thread Everything in my experience tells me that we outlast our bodies. We move on. We keep going. We are bigger than our bodies. What defines us is what we take with us once we leave our bodies behind—our joys, our dreams, our loves, our consciousness.

I had to read it because it's a WWII story, partly set in France. And it was fine. But I never got really invested in the characters. Look for this gem to come out in January 2020 if you are a historical fiction fan. Though published by Tor Teen, THIS LIGHT BETWEEN US doesn’t read like a teen or YA book. Also, I will give you a heads up. The ending was not what I predicted, and it absolutely, positively killed me. By the final chapters, I was reading this novel through tears (thanks Science for my waterproof e-reader) and was left with a distinct feeling of emptiness which I will now have to fill with something upbeat otherwise I will definitely end up in a slump. This book is so emotionally charged that I will warn anyone who takes the plunge – and you should DEFINITELY take the plunge – expect to feel deflated and emotionally raw, but in a way that provides reflection rather than internalised destruction of your soul.

The book is heartbreaking, like war is heartbreaking, It also is truly beautiful and heartfelt in many parts. It's good storytelling. I recommend a read.As you can see from the cover photo Alex goes to war and (naturally) ends up in France. This is very much Alex’s story. I wasn’t ready for them. Just a bit earlier I’d been taking deep breaths, trying to stay calm, because I was so nervous. Scared to death, really. Soon I would be in a room filled with suffering people. My role that evening was to try to ease their pain. My fear was that I would make it worse.

Retrieved March 27, 2019.Like my life, THE LIGHT BETWEEN US is a voyage from darkness to light. It tells the story of the journey I took toward understanding my true purpose in the world, and the ways we are all connected to each other, both here and on the Other Side. This book is the ‘true story’ of a psychic who learns of her powers and the ability to tap into messages left from people who have passed on. They connect to her and tell her to tell their loved ones, she is near to, about personal stuff and usually they are messages of regret and love. What’s usually explained as cold reading, in skeptic circles, her method here explained how she would reveal very personal details that no one would know or understand except the person she was “reading” for. For example, one man she mentioned a belt and said his father was sorry about the belt and he had no idea how special it was. The man later revealed that indeed when he was younger he made a leather belt for his dad But his dad hit him with it when he got upset at him thinking it was some mindless hobby the boy was working on not knowing it was a special gift the boy was working on for him. This episode hurt the man deeply and affected him all his life. He never told anyone about it but here the author was telling him now how his father now realizes this and how sorry he was that it happened. I find that hard to believe that she could cold read that personal episode. Of course there’s no way to verify these stories. But the feeling they give is just as unique and special to read and ultimately makes it worth it.

A beautiful story that manages to be both earnest and tough without getting overly sentimental. The story opens with Alex, a young Japanese-American boy living in Bainbridge Island in the 1930/40's, getting slightly miffed when he finds out that his assigned penpal, Charlie, is not in-fact a boy, but a young Jewish girl living in Paris. Although reluctant at first, Alex and Charlie begin a correspondence that lasts years. This part of the book was so affecting as Fukuda really captured the youthful ardency of two nerdy and sensitive kids who are on the cusp of adulthood in the midst of the turmoil of a world at war. Equally, their words carry a solemn urgency as Alex and his family are sent to live in an internment camp and Charlie feels the inevitable presence of the German occupation and specter of what that means for her and her family.

Their friendship grows over the years through the many, many letters exchanged each expressing deep private thoughts and feelings. Their letters are endearing and funny and full of the hopes and dreams of youth. Entre lecturas de novela que es mi género favorito, trato de intercalar algo distinto y alejado de mis preferencias. A brilliant milestone marking our passage toward comprehending the deeper truths of our existence.” —Eben Alexander, M.D., author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of HeavenAlex and Charlie’s story is told through correspondence between the two as well as being narrated in the third person for the most part. In the beginning these letters are frequent and flippant, the children discuss the view from their window and their disdain for certain persons in their life. As the two mature so does their letters content, discussing crushes and their own friendship that crosses oceans, before finally turning to their plight in the war. Eventually the letters stop completely once the war hits its peak devastation and the third person narration takes the forefront. Honestly, at first, I thought this would become tedious but the skill with which Fukuda has intertwined this pairs fates feels effortless and extremely well thought out.
