Pages Between Ages is a collection of short stories by two people from different generations. The stories cover topics such as sports, art, education, families, and life in general. This collection is unique not only because of the age difference of the writers, but in form--it includes a series of dialogues or vignettes between each story that are the result of the conversations the writers had during the collaboration process. They allow readers to see and enjoy what the writers were thinking and talking about along the way.
An uplifting story about the importance of family, the power of music, and the ever-present mercy of God. "I could hear my heart-beat in spite of the commotion and noise. I'd never seen anything so horrible...What's wrong with me? I thought. I knew everything had gone black and silent, but I couldn't remember why. I could hear now, but was still surrounded by darkness." Gabrielle Larson is a fifteen-year-old living in Chicago with reasonable plans for her life: to follow in her parents' footsteps as a Christian musician. But when tragedy strikes, Gabrielle finds herself forced to relocate to North Dakota, where she must learn to live with the difficult reality of her past in a strange and unfamiliar place. Years pass as Gabrielle not only fights to accept the aftermath of what's happened, but also to survive on a farm full of horses, cows, Uncle Will, and Aunt Bea. Enduring nature's windstorms and the loneliness of grief, she struggles to heal, and even finds herself face-to-face with the possibility of love in the most unexpected place. But the darkness is real and her heartache profound--will she ever emerge from the noisy past to catch the redemptive tune of the present?
