In New York, her best friend wannabe actress Dorothy Hughes persuades flautist Elizabeth Ash to accompany her to a rummage sale. Elizabeth buys a few used books, including a fascinating Regency romance by Harriet Mueller. However, the love story that hooks her is not part of the published novel, but instead written in BETWEEN THE LINES by a former reader to her "Darling" along the margins. Elizabeth feels the couple seems very familiar, and wants to give the book back to the husband.
Casting director Jim Lockhart has moved on somewhat past the death of his beloved wife by diving into his work at Babcock, Crier, and Nelson and turning to prayer. The vocation keeps the loneliness away while asking "Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me. Make haste to help me. Rescue me and save me. Let thy will be done in my life" This provides him some solace. He casts Dorothy Hughes in a commercial and she introduces him to Elizabeth. Both will agree that the Lord works in mysterious ways.
Rotating perspective between Jim and Elizabeth, READING BETWEEN THE LINES is a warm second chance at love tale, starring two likable but fearful individuals. Readers will sympathize with Jim, who mourns the loss of his beloved spouse who was too young to die from cancer, and lonely Elizabeth too afraid to take a chance on a permanent relationship. Readers will enjoy their endearing courtship filled with doubt, fear, and love.
