In mythology, we hear Demeter's grief and Hades's legend - but rarely Persephone's story. Between Worlds changes that. Told in two timelines, "Then" follows eighteen-year-old Kore as she steps into independence, follows her heart into the Underworld, and becomes the Persephone we know. "Now" follows Meghan, a college graduate struggling to find her path, whose long-time neighbor turns out to be Persephone herself - appearing at just the right moment to guide both Meghan and her mother toward understanding.
Part mythological retelling, part contemporary coming-of-age story, Between Worlds explores what it truly means to become yourself - and whether a mother's love can survive who her child is growing into.
