Driven by curiosity and possibility, writer Bella Pollen has always maintained a double life, navigating between a fierce love of family and the yearning for escape, until one day, a strange encounter changes everything . . .

What does it take to work out who you really are and where you truly belong? From Mafia in-laws to fashion failures to neighbours from hell, Pollen's search for answers is a dazzling and powerful odyssey through the conflicting desires and roles of women in today's confusing world. Interwoven with sections of graphic art by award-winning illustrator Kate Boxer, Meet Me in the In-Between is a renegade memoir that takes readers all over the world before bringing them back home again.
