“…the pattern I spent years repeating without ever questioning why…”

Nancy Valor has long since known something was wrong, a fear she keeps hidden, private. The headaches, the loss of balance, the blurred vision all add up to a diagnostic storm, and she doesn’t know how to prepare herself or her husband for what could be life-altering news. Anxiety asks her for reflection, and she returns to the summer in which she and her husband met, the memories made as they grew up and grew in love, even as she fears her diagnosis may tear them apart. The summer before senior year, Nancy was just beginning to come into herself, though she carried insecurities and the lasting memories of adolescence and still had lots of growing up to do. A summer job at The Outdoor Theater in town brought into her life two men who would become more important to her growth and security than she could have seen coming, two men vying for her attention, each with different motives and intentions. The Space Between Our Shifts is a dual-timeline dual-point-of-view coming-of-age drama centered on relationships, those built with others and the one built with the self, as Nancy navigates new fears against the backdrop of old stories and discovers the confidence needed to, finally, let another in.
