Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; and Preliminary Page Quote by J. Glenn Gray, The Warriors. "Caddie Blair feels everything strongly - and so she works hard to keep her distance. It's the ethical thing for a journalist to do, especially in a war-torn region like the Middle East. And Caddie wants to believe that nothing is as important as covering "the story." There's room for passion in her life - but perhaps that's only physical. Caddie keeps even those fleeting attachments under wraps, secretive, because she knows that when a journalist even appears to lose her detachment, she is already lost. So what is Caddie to feel when her lover dies beside her - shot in an ambush on the way to the next promising political interview, across the Israeli border into Lebanon? Beautifully written and filled with characters who are as true as they are perceptive, The Distance Between Us is finally the portrait of one woman's search for the narrow pass between vengeance and emotional survival, when her only true attachment has been torn away from her. "If we knew where we were going to fall," the novel's most enigmatic character tells her, "we could spread straw." - from the inner front jacket flap.l ABOUT THE AUTHOR: For ten years, Masha Hamilton worked as a foreign correspondent overseas, first for the Associated Press in the Middle East and then as a Moscow correspondent for the Los Angeles Times.
