Distraught she tells her dad how shes feeling. When he ignorantly dismisses her concern as always the years of absence his truck driving has caused come crashing down on them threatening to destroy any desire Juliana has of forgiving her father. Expecting to find solace in Opa Juliana is shocked when her grandfather takes Dads side: to Opa Julianas dad is worlds better than Georg a cousin long passed who couldnt support his family. But Juliana soon suspects that Opa doesnt know everything. A year has passed since the war ended and Georg is still a shell of a human being. He says very little and succumbs to inexplicable fits. Everyone ridicules him and even Elisabeth is frightened of him. But when she has to help with wedding preparations for one of Georgs sisters Elisabeth begins to believe that theres more to her cousins fits and visions than others claim. In Between Worlds 2: The Distance Juliana and Elisabeth find that empathy to understand those they misunderstand the most needs more courage than they believe they have.The interior of this book is printed in 19-point bold sans serif font and follows the guidelines of the American Council of the Blind.
