The Space Between Useful and Alive - Love Stories and Relationship Journeys | Tales of Connection

 

Romantic short stories - Chris Horner has always been dependable—the kind of man people rely on, the kind of love that shows up early and stays late. But when his father dies suddenly from a lifetime of quiet self-sacrifice, Chris uncovers a truth that unsettles everything he thought he knew about love, work, and worth. As postponed plans, inherited habits, and a well intentioned engagement begin to strain, Chris is forced to ask a dangerous question: who is he when he stops being useful? Tender, funny, and deeply human, The Space Between Useful and Alive is a romance comedy about grief, growth, and learning that love doesn’t have to cost you yourself—and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is choose a life that feels like your own.
