The Light Between the Lines

A spiritual journey through the darkness

My debut book explores life’s contrasts: from sorrow to joy, challenge to celebration, despair to delight. Hearts break so they can open. Rooted in breath, music, and spirit, this collection is meant to be equal parts comfort and illumination, a gentle lantern for whatever path you find yourself walking.

My intention with this volume is that it reaches out to take your hand, sit beside you in the quiet, and remind you of the light you’ve carried all along.

 

Beating love eternal

Stepping with our hearts

Mary Jane Knight’s poems arise from a deep well of lived experience—grief, joy, healing, and the steady discovery of light within.

Written with a musician’s ear and a seeker’s heart, they reveal how beauty can emerge from brokenness and how spiritual growth is not an escape from suffering, but a transformation through it.

Lori Erickson, author of Holy Rover, Near the Exit, The Soul of the Family Tree, and Every Step Is Home

Mary Jane Knight’s debut book is a deeply emotional & introspective collection of conversations with self.

It is riddled with honest & hard-to-answer questions, but she is bold in her responses. As she simply states, life blares loud, but I must stop and listen for the silence between, and from that she leads us to the light we all share.
