"What would you do if you were going to live your life as if you only had a year to live?" When a stranger poses this question in the supermarket checkout line, Cricket Thompson is jolted out of her everyday life to face a startling revelation: after seventeen years of marriage to solid, reliable Jim, and despite her love for her teenage daughters, Janis and Grace, Cricket is lonely. The tides of change are pulling her toward something new and barely recognizableSan internal shift that leads her to spend time with a man named Pass Christian, who offers her a special kind of acceptance and understanding. But in a single moment, Cricket's world comes crashing down when an act of deadly violence erupts at the local shopping mall -- and she faces a devastating, heartbreaking loss. Through the prism of this surreal crisis, Cricket's life path is irrevocably altered; without her knowledge or consent, she has been plunged into the kind of cataclysmic event that by its very nature forces transformation. For Cricket, the world of dreams and fantasy comes up against the sting of reality with relentless force. Life as she knew it has been left in the past; yet Jim refuses to acknowledge the changes that confront them both. And suddenly, for Cricket, the love that Pass has to offer just about overwhelms her.... Exploring the solace of dreams and the fragility of being wide awake, Barbara Chepaitis has written an astoundingly powerful and heartwrenching novel. These Dreams beautifully portrays the love that grows in the most desolate of circumstances, when even the very will to endure is challenged by the inexplicable design of the world we must live in.

Een mooi verteld, ontroerend verhaal dat laat zien dat liefde ons de kracht kan geven om een ernstig verlies te leren accepteren.
In deze ontroerende roman maken we kennis met Cricket Thompson, een ogenschijnlijk heel gewone vrouw. Ze is een niet-werkende moeder van twee tienerdochters en al jarenlang redelijk tevreden getrouwd.
Dat alles verandert wanneer ze de ultieme nachtmerrie van elke ouder meemaakt: een van haar dochters overlijdt. In haar wanhoop verliest ze het contact met de werkelijkheid, vervreemdt ze van haar man en ontvlucht ze uiteindelijk haar huis.
Slechts één iemand blijkt in staat haar te kunnen helpen. Met hem zal ze een nieuw leven beginnen - en een relatie waarin ze voor het eerst zichzelf kan zijn.
