Michele Phoenix writes a riveting and moving story in The Space Between Words. The book tells the story of Jessica, who is
in France with her friends Vonda and Patrick.
Their time together is fun and light-hearted as good friendships can be
until one day it is changed forever.
While at a concert event, Jessica and Vonda are victims of a
terrorist attack at the concert venue.
This attack forever changes Jessica’s world and sends her on a healing
journey that is heartbreaking and healing.
Jessica decides to stay in France after surviving the attack in order to
take a trip she and Patrick had promised they had planned on. On this trip, Patrick leads her to a sewing
box and through this sewing box, Jessica is introduced to the Baillard family
who were persecuted in the Protestant movement in France. Jessica embarks on a journey to find out who the
Baillard family were and what happened to them.
Along this journey, Jessica meets Mona and Grant, a brother and sister
who rent to Jessica the property she stays on while on the trip and Jessica
also meets little Connor, Mona’s son.
This book was a difficult one to read. There were several times I found myself
having to pause from the emotions it emitted from me. Michele Phoenix writes with depth and compassion. Jessica’s journey is heart-wrenching. Mona, Grant, and Connor are such wonderful
characters; representing strength, compassion, and faith. Each member of the Baillard family were
models of strength and love in the midst of adversity and their strong faith in
God resonated throughout their own journey.
Overall, this book is one that I won’t soon forget. Michele Phoenix tells a story that impacts
you to the core however resonates with hope, strength, and shows how God is
faithful to us in most difficult times in our lives.
Happy Reading!
