Surviving The In-Between

"You have something to teach me
I'm not leaving for a while, am I?"

There's no escaping the in-between places-between where you are and where you want to be.

Welcome to your survival guide.

Surviving The In-Between, M.M. Bylo's second poetry collection chronicles four significant years of the author's life-the growing pains of getting older and searching for where she belongs. Together you'll encounter the deepest valleys and triumphant mountaintops; learning to face grief, disappointment, and pain-the inevitable baggage we pick up along the way-and finding the reasons to let it go: forgiveness, contentment, and hope.

Because this life is the in-between, the time we are gifted. Might as well learn to enjoy the view.
