About this audiobook
Deep within the peaceful heart of Amish country, a life-or-death emergency shatters a quiet world to its core. Number-one New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs delivers a riveting story that challenges our deepest-held beliefs.
Caught between two worlds, Caleb Stoltz is bound by a deathbed promise to raise his orphaned niece and nephew in Middle Grove, where life revolves around family, farm, faith—and long-held suspicions about outsiders. When disaster strikes, Caleb is thrust into an urban environment of high-tech medicine and the relentless rush of modern life.
Dr. Reese Powell is poised to join the medical dynasty of her wealthy, successful parents. Bold, assertive, and quick-thinking, she lives for the addictive rush of saving lives. When a shocking accident brings Caleb Stoltz into her life, Reese is forced to deal with a situation that challenges everything she thinks she knows—and ultimately emboldens her to question her most powerful beliefs.
Then one impulsive act brings about a clash of cultures in a tug-of-war that plays out in a courtroom, challenging the very nature of justice and reverberating through generations, straining the fragile threads of faith and family.
Deeply moving and unforgettable, Between You and Me is an emotionally complex story of love and loss, family and friendship, and the arduous road to discovering the heart’s true path.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lovely. It was a good book when you want a change from reading a thriller.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is my summer of reading Library books, so I was happy to get a Susan Wiggs novel to breeze through in between the more challenging reading I’ve been doing. Not that there isn’t some darkness inside Between You and Me, because there is some heavier family issues. Caleb was raised in an Amish community, but left, until his brother died and he returned home raise his niece and nephew. Another tragedy brings him into contact with Dr. Reese Powell whose life couldn’t be more different. She’s from a wealthy family, her parents are doctors and want the best for her which they have planned out to the minute. Meeting each other has them questioning what they both want and need in life. For me it was a fast read, very interesting, and other than some swearing I liked it. Yes there is a mystery element too.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another good story to read by this author. This is the story of Caleb Stoltz and Reese Powell and the struggles and challenges they incur as they work to become a couple with his orphaned niece and nephew. Being a Susan Wiggs fan, this is another of her books well worth reading.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is another wonderful book by Susan Wiggs - her books never fail to deliver a wonderful story of family and love and this one is a definite winner.Reese is an intern in the ER of a large teaching hospital in Philadelphia. Her parents have her life planned out for her and want her to become a surgeon and join their practice. She is totally stressed out with her current life and is unsure of the direction she wants to go next. A young Amish boy is brought into the ER with a life threatening condition - his arm has become mangled in a farm accident. His uncle, who is also his guardian, Caleb arrives at the hospital with him. With his Amish clothing and ways, he appears to be strong and stoic. Reese is attracted to him and his quiet ways and tries to help him while his nephew is in the hospital. Though their lives are totally opposites, their attraction to each other continues to grow until they face major decisions in their lives.This is a wonderful well written novel about family and love and ultimately asks the question over whether children should follow the path that their parents set for them or the path that will bring them happiness. Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.
