Book excerpt: A story of hope, courage, and perseverance When Carol misses red flags early in her relationship and ends up married to a man with a violent temper, her dreams for herself and her family are dashed, and she realizes how brutal waking life can be. She hides bruises and protects her children the best she can while secretly planning an escape to a better life. Despite her circumstances, Carol empowers her daughter to know no limits after a virus paralyzes her legs and teaches her son to stop the cycle of violence and gender discrimination. ​The Moments Between Dreams, the debut novel by Judith Brenner, is about a 1940s housewife in Chicago who conforms to the rulebook of the times until her husband pushes her too far, and she must take action to save herself and her daughter. Carol finds a way out of dark circumstances, and she and her children learn to lean on their faith and each other, ultimately finding their happy ending.
