Between Heaven and Earth by Ashlyn McKayla Ohm

In the High Country, Heaven is closer than they know… After fighting to overcome her mother’s abandonment, Avery Miles is thrilled to be working at a nature center in her beloved Colorado Rockies. But when her younger sister, Addisyn, begins revisiting their past, Avery’s struggle with anxiety returns—especially as Addisyn comes dangerously close to the secret Avery kept to protect her. And Avery’s problems worsen when she’s forced to work alongside the creative—and cocky—YouTuber Creed Running Wolf on a conservation project with a surprising link to her own past. Now, Avery is caught between Addisyn’s search for the truth and the anxiety that’s becoming harder to hide…and the only answer lies in the town she ran from years ago. Creed Running Wolf has always been fascinated by the Lakota concept of kapemni—a doorway between Heaven and Earth. If that doorway exists, he’s sure it’s not in Colorado, the place he never wanted to see again. However, as he learns Avery’s story, he begins to hope he can still rewrite his own—especially as he and Avery find common ground. But when the past resurfaces and his friendship with Avery is shattered, they will both have to face everything they’ve tried to escape—and discover once and for all what would truly bridge Heaven and Earth. Captivating and compelling, Between Heaven and Earth is an honest yet hopeful look at the stories we tell, the secrets we keep, and the healing power of forgiveness.
