Caught between two worlds, Caleb Stoltz is bound by a deathbed promise to raise his orphaned niece and nephew in Middle Grove, where life revolves around family, farm, faith—and long-held suspicions about outsiders. When disaster strikes, Caleb is thrust into an urban environment of high-tech medicine and the relentless rush of modern life.
Dr. Reese Powell is poised to join the medical dynasty of her wealthy, successful parents. Bold, assertive, and quick-thinking, she lives for the addictive rush of saving lives. When a shocking accident brings Caleb Stoltz into her life, Reese is forced to deal with a situation that challenges everything she thinks she knows—and ultimately emboldens her to question her most powerful beliefs.
Then one impulsive act brings about a clash of cultures in a tug-of-war that plays out in a courtroom, challenging the very nature of justice and reverberating through generations, straining the fragile threads of faith and family.

Review: I loved reading Between You & Me, and I found it much better than what I expected when going through the synopsis.
Between You and Me is a great romance story, but it's way more than that - a story about love, faith, honor, promises and expectations, second chances and new beginnings.
Reese's life has always been driven by what her parents wanted for her, what they expected her to achieve. And she did deliver, not balking at the effort or the hard work. But she comes to a point where she realises that her life is not really her own - so she embarks in a journey to discover who she is really meant to be.
In a way, Caleb has also been living according to someone else's expectations - his father's, the Amish faith, his nephews' needs. Once he tried to move away and follow his own wishes, but a catastrophe brought him back and he has resigned himself to being forever stuck between two different worlds.
An accident brings them together and ends up being the catalyst for a series of changes in both their lives - some that they have to navigate alone and others that result from the very nature of their relationship. In addition to Caleb and Reese, there's also a great set of secondary characters and some interesting side stories.
Between You and Me is a beautiful book and I totally recommend it.
Happy readings!
