A brilliant milestone marking our passage toward comprehending the deeper truths of our existence.” —Eben Alexander, M.D., author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven Rachel Weisz plays her role very well and together with the two main actors gives us some very emotional scene. I was touched by this movie and blow away by the acting. Like my life, THE LIGHT BETWEEN US is a voyage from darkness to light. It tells the story of the journey I took toward understanding my true purpose in the world, and the ways we are all connected to each other, both here and on the Other Side.

He was there, in the space just ahead of me, though not in his physical body but rather in spirit—a spirit that was beautifully, undeniably, entirely his. My consciousness instantly recognized his consciousness. He was a point of light, like a bright star in the dark night sky, but the light was powerful and magnetic, drawing me toward it, filling me with love. It was as if I was seeing Pop Pop’s true self—not his earthly body, but rather this greater, inner light that was truly him. I was seeing his soul energy. I understood that Pop Pop was safe, and that he was in a beautiful place filled with love. I understood he was home, and in that instant I also understood that this was the place that we all come from, the place we all belong. He had returned to the place he’d come from. The visions Alex kept having. I know it was to help keep Charlie in the forefront of both our minds and Alex's, but that was just a little bit too weird for my liking. Content: like I said, some graphic war scenes, mild cursing, some sexual innuendos. For the most part, though, I thought it was pretty clean. Also, there are a lot of Christian elements which is cool! I wasn’t ready for them. Just a bit earlier I’d been taking deep breaths, trying to stay calm, because I was so nervous. Scared to death, really. Soon I would be in a room filled with suffering people. My role that evening was to try to ease their pain. My fear was that I would make it worse.For the book itself, Fukuda’s writing was truly captivating and very well researched from what I could tell. While it’s the story of these two friends, its told only from the view of Alex, and we’re offered no point of view from Charlie aside from her letters. Despite this, Fukuda still manages to capture the heartbreaking feelings and brutality of those suffering directly from the Nazis. I loved seeing this war through the eyes of Alex, and his internal struggles with his country. The book is basically told in 3 sections: the first follows young Alex and Charlie as they communicate, the second is Alex’s time in the camp, and the third is his time in the military fighting in Europe. Thanks to Macmillan and Netgalley for the advance Kindle copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Alex becomes a great war hero, along with his unit, fighting Nazis and liberating part of the camps. Once the war is won, he goes to Charlies house before the war in hopes that she has returned. And she never did. The neighbors told him that they didn't think she made it. He goes to her bedroom and looks out her window at the Eiffel Tower, something she always dreamed of showing him.
