THE STORY
Set beneath the wide, unfixed skies of Montana's Flathead Lake, THE MOMENT BETWEEN follows Elias — a man who spent years making other people's images persuasive before he understood what it had cost him to stop staying with anything real. He comes home to photograph weather: storms breaking over open country, light arriving beneath cloud, the narrow edge where one thing hasn't ended and another has already begun. But learning to be present to a storm means learning to be present to everything else he'd let pass overhead — a father growing quieter, a daughter grown distant, a love he never fully understood, a mother's unfinished paintings found behind old coats. This is a meditative work of Western literary fiction in the tradition of Norman Maclean, Kent Haruf, and Wallace Stegner — about attention as both a gift and an evasion, and about what it takes to stop watching a life happen and start standing inside it.
