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.

Wanted to read/listen to this book for a while now. I love watching Hadley’s TikTok’s.
A tear or two at the end of each chapters. But also loved hearing Hadley’s journey into becoming a hospice nurse as her abilities and confidence grew. Well done Hadley, can’t wait to hear more from you.
