The Distance Between Us

Some distances can’t be measured in miles. Some goodbyes don’t wait. And sometimes all it takes to realize your true feelings for someone is the presence of fear of losing them. *** Twelve years ago, Hannah left to pursue her education and build her life. She left family behind and also the man who truly knew her soul. Now she’s back. But not everything waits forever. Not love. Not life. And certainly not Nathan. But the man she had always loved was living with a secret: he was dying. And he’d been waiting… hoping… to see her one last time. The Distance Between Us is a powerful, bittersweet tale of love lost to time, the courage it takes to return, and the heartbreak of discovering that sometimes, goodbye comes before we’re ready to say it.
