The Space Between Before and After

Holli Templeton is afraid that something terrible will happen in her family. From her home outside Manhattan, she watches news accounts of the Space Shuttle Columbia as it breaks apart over her native Texas, and she worries that some devastating event in her own life will follow. Twice before, moments of suffering in her family have run strangely parallel with the large moments of men in space. Her young mother died on the day Neil Armstrong first stepped onto the moon. An unborn child was lost to her on the day the shuttle Challenger exploded.

On The Space Between Before
and After:

Chosen as a Summer Must-Read by Woman's Day Magazine, July 2008

--The Boston Globe

On Accidental Happiness:

"A touching novel about loss and the courage necessary to move beyond the past, Page's tale is filled with genuine and sympathetic characters." --Booklist
