Recovering from the isolation of caring for her recently deceased mother, Aurora Norquest begins to experience bewildering dreams. As she seeks to understand the voices that fill her sleeping hours, she learns that her mother has hidden a secret--a truth that could change Aurora's present and set a new course for her future.

 

The book jacket sounds very intriguing. She was obviously under alot of stress the last few years of her mother's life (adult diapers etc...)I think she also sounds very lonely. Where is a close girlfriend, someone she can confide in? It will be interesting when her strange dreams start. I can't wait until tomorrow to read the next script. I just finished reading Armando's Treasure. It was good!

This book hits home with me. I lost my mother after she had suffered from dementia for 2-1/2 years. I understand the roller coaster of emotions one feels who has taken care of a parent with dementia. And there are so many emotions - you feel a terrible sense of loss, not only for the parent, but also for the time you've lost. It sounds strange, but you also feel sad that you're not needed so much anymore. You feel a great sense of relief, and then you feel terribly guilty for feeling relief.

Angela's writing just gets better and better. I can't wait to read the rest of this book!

I have to get this book from the library and read at least enough to find out who the mystery man is. My curiosity is definitely piqued.
