What is it?
Hear an interview with Teri Knight on KYMN Radio here.
This book was an extension of a letter I wrote to a friend who was struggling with how to move on in the midst of a divorce that left him with more questions than answers. When people asked for a copy of what I had written to share with others who were in the midst of various stages of loss, grief and growth and it continue to resonate I knew I had to do something more substantial with it.
The In-between is a concept that we all have experience with, but not a lot has been written about. The moments in-between the pain or trauma when the wound is no longer throbbing, but yet it is still so tender to the touch, when the scar hasn’t formed yet to protect the tenderness beneath. It is something that can be applicable to death of a loved one, or the deaths of dreams, slights, hurts at the hand of another, the derailment of what we had planned, the cumulative losses we experience over the course of our lives.
I wanted to be able to write a book that offers hope, that offers the acknowledgement of where you are at, reminds you of where you would like to be and offers the faith to get you there. It isn’t about a quick fix, or a pat on the shoulder, it is an acknowledgement of the process and time that healing takes as well as the need for support during the journey.
Who is the book for?
Anyone who is in the mist of their own “In-Between”, when life is a little much and you could use a cheering section. A book for those moments when you need to be reminded you aren’t alone.
It is intended to be a Gift Book to share with others, for those occasions when your heart is full but you can’t find the words and you would like to offer someone a tangible piece of support.
A book to help remind you that where you are is exactly where you need to be, a reminder that healing takes time, that love will find a way, and that hope wins out one healing moment at a time. And a book for those moments when those words sound hollow and empty. It is intended to meet you wherever you are at in your In-Between.

Hi Erica,
Enjoyed hearing you on the radio the other day and your new book seemed like the perfect present for a dear friend of mine. I bought a copy at Monkey See Monkey Read and dropped it in the mail today! My friend was recently divorced and she just sold her house, so your words will be a comfort.

Jane ~ So glad to hear that! That is exactly what I wanted the book to do! Find it’s way in the world to hearts that need it.
Yes.. going through a divorce is a difficult In-Between… But with friends like you to support her she will be held in love and support as she travels her path.
I won a copy in the recent silent auctio at One Yoga and LOVE it. I gave it as a gift to my cousin and she LOVES It. Now we each want 5 copies to have on hand to give as gifts when the timing is right for special people in our lives. Can I get copies in the Twin CIties (the locations on your website all seem to be outlying) or shall I order online?
Wonderful!! I am so glad to hear that 🙂
It would be easiest to order them through me, if you send me a message compassioninallthings at Gmail.com I can send you some more details and we can figure all of that out!
[…] keep working my way down this pile, with Pema Chödrön’s new book and Erica Staab’s The In-Between on their way to be added to the stack. So many good […]

I haven’t yet seen your book yet, Erica, but I met YOU! You have a very special openness that even over a quick, downtown MPLS. run from my office for a bite of sushi—I was very surprised by the gift of our short conversation. I know you are offering life your very clearest, kindest, tenderest and best.
Thank you, thank you for this!
And what a blessing to be able to run into one another and be open to the opportunity to connect kindred spirits. I love how the Universe weaves us together in such beautiful ways!
Wonderful book Erica! Is there any discount for ordering it in bulk? I work as a therapist at a domestic and sexual violence shelter, and would like to have some to offer clients. Thanks!
Thank you, and yes there is. I will send an email your way with more information shortly.
