Description
Grace and Jane both crave family but for much different reasons. Grace longs for the child she was never able to conceive and Jane for the new family she will have once she marries her boyfriend. They meet and become unlikely friends when Grace’s husband paints his masterpiece and Jane’s gallery represents him.
As they ponder their future, Jane’s meddling 80-year-old landlady helps them see the beauty in letting go of expectation. Grace and Jane each see something different in the painting, and it causes them to look beyond their stubborn dreams to a fresh reality that could hold the key to their happiness.
Advance Praise
FIVE STARS
The Space Between Dreaming is a moving novel written with warmth and heart and which contains valuable wisdom. I loved that the work tackles difficult topics about childlessness, childhood trauma, and betrayal by friends with sensitivity. It tenderly captures the social and emotional toll of being childless. I loved the main characters and found them to be realistic and engaging. The work masterfully explores the themes of friendships and relationships, drawing important lessons that can be applied in real life. The inclusion of art and the process of painting also enhance the story. Cherie Burbach's unforgettable novel will resonate with readers for its applicable themes and compelling characters. Fans of women's novels will love it.

This book is something special. I finished it last night and am still reflecting on the beautiful story and characters. Jane is almost 30 and has been dating Brad for 8 years. She has a job she loves working in an art gallery but she’s not happy. 16 years her senior Grace is married to her true love but they have not been blessed with children. While Grace’s marriage is strong the missing child has a heavy toll. When Jane and Grace meet at a vendor art show I was not sure how their stories would connect. The book is told from the POV of both women in alternating chapters.
Both women are drawn to Grace’s husband’s art piece, The Space Between Dreaming. The piece is the cover of the book and it is absolutely gorgeous!!! When I saw the cover I wanted the book if only to display in my house because it is so gorgeous. The story between the covers is one of finding yourself for both Jane and Grace. I fell in love with this book and did not want it to end. I cried and laughed while reading. I can’t say enough good things about this book. If you want a story about strength, overcoming loss, inspiration, and beautiful artwork, you will love this book. A lot of the book discusses infertility so it may not be the book for you if that is a trigger.
