Publisher's Synopsis
A brilliant future. A familiar neighborhood. One moment that changes everything.
The Line Between Us is a timely and emotionally gripping novel about identity, injustice, and the unseen tensions that divide communities from within.
Darius Porter is a gifted college student-ambitious, kind, and deeply connected to his family and Camden roots. Home for the weekend, he's looking forward to rest, reconnection, and recharging before another round of pre-med courses. But when a routine return home takes a shocking turn, it sets off a chain of events that rocks the city and reopens old wounds.
As protests erupt across Camden, Detective Jada Edgars finds herself in an impossible position. A Black woman in a mostly white police department, Jada has always walked a tightrope between her job and her community. Now, she's assigned a new case-two young Black women have gone missing, and no one seems to be paying attention.
Determined to find the girls and keep the peace, Jada is forced to confront the cracks in the system she thought she could fix from the inside.
With the city on edge, tensions flaring, and justice hanging in the balance, The Line Between Us explores what happens when the people we love, the roles we play, and the truths we live collide.
For readers who appreciate powerful storytelling, emotional depth, and stories rooted in social justice, this novel delivers a moving look at the lines-seen and unseen-that shape our lives.
