Michele Reis
Hi, I’m Michele Reis, author of Living in the Gap. In my everyday life, I wear many hats, both personally and professionally. I’ve accomplished many things along the way, but today, I stand before you not just as a professional, or even as an author, you probably know me as a grieving mother. My daughter Holly will always be a part of me, of my existence. Now, I live for both of us. That’s why I wrote Living in the Gap, not as a story, but as a reflection of real life, mine and so many others’. Through this book, I’m inviting you to walk with me on a journey through loss, love, and healing. While I have many stories to share, this one is different. It’s not fiction, it’s truth. And I welcome every reader and visitor to join me in honouring Holly’s memory and finding hope in the spaces between.
