It is us against the world, Abigail thought.
You and me… Sisters.
Abigail Bennett was completely in control of her life until tragedy pushed her to the brink of something she’d never experienced: obsession. Now, she’s given up everything she’s ever worked for to chase down the object of that obsession. His name is Tyler Kamp. As Abigail follows him across the border into Canada to a beautiful winery in British Columbia, her journey is awash in memories of family and childhood, especially those of her younger sister, Hailey. Dangerously beautiful yet indefinably needy, Hailey seemed to take all the risks Abigail avoided. Until now. But even as Abigail races into her future, her past continues to pull her back. Only when she is brought to the edge of her obsession will she be able to come to terms with the tragedy that ignited it.
A breathtaking story about the emotional risks of relationships, The Moment Between explores the cost of regret, the desire for revenge, and the redemptive power of forgiveness.

“Beautiful, complex, and rich. The great mystery at the heart of The Moment Between is not what happened but why. Nicole Baart gracefully peels back the layers to examine sibling love, brokenness, and healing that comes through redemption.”
- Travis Thrasher, author of Ghostwriter
“A story about the emotional communion of two sisters that is as rich and complex as fine red wine. Baart’s story of a tragedy and one woman‟s yearning for atonement, for answers, and for peace, is both gritty and lyrical. Leavened by tenderness, it plumbs troubling questions of how much responsibility we bear to control our minds and actions, the paradoxical pitfalls that can come from harnessing both too tightly, and the mysterious grace of faith.”
- Lisa McKay, author of My Hands Came Away Red
“Even though Abigail is entirely certain for whom she is searching, she is tragically unsure of what it is she wants or needs to find.

Meanwhile, as it has in all her work, Baart’s elegant prose becomes a lyric melody, its own kind of blessing to story and reader.”
