I’m heading out for the day, but this was the one post I was looking forward to, so I allowed myself a moment to sit down and enjoy it.
There’s just something about these exchanges that pulls me right in… the secrecy, the longing, the way they connect on that deeper level, mind and heart. I laughed out loud at the paddle. Growing up, my nana used to threaten me with a wooden spoon. Never once used it, but the sight of it alone was enough to bring me back in line. 😄
And no going barefoot? So sad for Emily. But honestly, there’s a deeper melancholy running through her whole letter… the loneliness, the restrictions, that feeling of being caged instead of free. I just want to reach through time and space and give Emily a great big hug! 😔
Thank you both for creating Between Two Worlds; it’s an absolute delight… truly such a joy to read and listen to. 💙
Thank you from my whole heart! I know that I also speak for Mark when I respond here that your comment means the world to us. We both have such a tender spot for this series. It truly is a labor of love for both of us. It’s been an amazing ride of research and creating characters and then trying to showcase their life through their messages and letters.
You are absolutely correct. You are reading Emily like a wide open book. She is very lonely, and she is struggling very much against the restrictions of her very strict life.
Thank you so very much for taking some time out from your birthday celebrations to spend a few moments with us and share and Emily and Harold‘s journey. We appreciate you more than you know.
That Dictaphone “a bulky rectangle… like a blind eye” gave me chills. It’s so ugly and heavy and still somehow sacred in her hands. I could feel her holding her breath while the room listened.
Wonderful work
Thank you!

The emotion, joy and delight in creating this series comes through from both of you. I’m looking forward to episode 3!
I love these letters
I’m so glad Sara! This collab has a very special place in my heart.
Yes I see why. It's beautiful and you two are perfect for it
I like the correspondence style and backdrop.
When is the third?
