The Space Between Siblings

Parties. Exams. Freedom. As a sophomore in college, Nora Bridges-Harris is finding her stride and planning for her future—until that security is ripped away from her. When her parents are killed in a car accident and Nora must return home to raise her 13-year-old brother, Carter, she is forced to learn deeper, more difficult lessons than school could ever teach. Nora must adjust quickly to her new life while guiding Carter along in his, and as the lines between sibling and guardian blur and the relationship becomes increasingly strained, the two must face their grief, their challenges, and their future together. Over the course of a year marked by heartbreak, academic challenges, and caring for a cat named Crash, the siblings in Rachel E. Enright’s tender and moving debut must discover who they are outside of their grief and how to belong in a world that no longer feels familiar.
