Between Sun and Skin

Marie, an award-winning photojournalist, is traveling the world, exploring cultures that embrace body positivity and freedom in ways she never imagined growing up. From naturist beaches in Europe to traditional Japanese onsens, her letters home reveal a journey that is as much about self-discovery as it is about uncovering the beauty of the human spirit.

Meanwhile, her younger sister, Becs, struggles to make sense of Marie’s experiences while navigating her own insecurities. As Marie’s stories challenge everything Becs thought she knew about body image and self-worth, she begins to see glimpses of a world where self-acceptance might just be possible.

Between Sun and Skin is an unconventional exploration of vulnerability and self-discovery. Through the journey of its protagonist, the novel delves into the challenge of shedding external expectations and embracing authenticity. As life’s obstacles strip away familiar comforts, the story reveals the raw beauty of stepping into the light—unprotected but empowered. It’s a deeply personal tale about confronting fears, breaking free from limitations, and learning to stand confidently in one’s own skin.

Told through heartfelt letters and introspective diary entries, Between Sun and Skin is a moving exploration of family, culture, and the journey to love ourselves in a world that often tells us we’re not enough.
