*AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*
What can life’s final moments teach us about living well today?
In this bestselling memoir, palliative care nurse Hadley Vlahos recounts the unforgettable tales of the hospice patients whose journeys of self-discovery inspired her sense of purpose and hope. From the elderly man seeing visions of his late daughter, to the young patient lamenting the time wasted fearing judgment, to the woman whose unwavering belief in her faith was shaken up by the prospect of dying.
Each story teaches us to embrace life’s fleeting nature, and raises vital questions: How do we make peace with the end? How can we honour our late loved ones? And, above all, how can we make each day count?
Compassionate and thought-provoking, The In-Between is a celebration of life’s great unknowns, and a comfort as we navigate what comes next.
‘Refreshingly forthright.’ New York Times
‘Beautifully written … contains profound wisdom.’ Katy Butler, author of The Art of Dying Well
‘Transformative … makes dying feel like a peaceful, dynamic, and nourishing event.’ Christie tate, author of Group
‘Gentle encouragement for all those who live under life’s running clock and for those who love them.’ Kirkus Reviews

Critics Review
Here’s what you need to know about Vlahos’s memoir: It’s heartfelt without being woo-woo, and it’s not as sad as you’d expect it to be. Vlahos walks readers through her time caring for 11 patients (names, identifying details and medical information have been changed) and her mother-in-law, who died in 2018. Her tone is gentle, refreshingly forthright and befitting of a professional who tells us what to expect from an event that has launched a thousand euphemisms.
