Thanks to her unique ability to step into other people's dreams,
Dr. Sara Alderson has solved murders, unraveled conspiracies and saved lives.
But when a crisis hits close to home, even her supernatural gift might not be
enough to avert disaster.
On a family vacation to Paris, Sara's fifteen-year-old daughter Grace disappears without a trace. The only way to find her is through Sara's dreams.

Excerpt
Sara is somewhere high up, looking down over Paris. The Eiffel Tower – there’s nowhere else this
could be. She wonders whose dream it is,
and then she sees the girl.
Blonde, young – a high schooler. Hair down to her – Sara has to blink, look
away, look again. Hair in a ponytail all
the way down her back, and then curled up around her until Sara can’t see where
it ends. It’s a dream, she reminds
herself, not questioning what she’s seeing.
It doesn’t have to make sense.
She’s seen this girl before, but where? The memory comes back almost immediately – last
night, in another dream. She was on the
plane. And here she is, and the boy,
too. Definitely her brother.
Sara watches as the siblings peer far below to the ground,
looking for something – or someone.
After a while, the girl lets out a little shout. “There!
In the blue! Do you see?” The boy follows her finger, pointing hundreds
of feet down. “I knew we’d find him
again. We’ve got the money, we just need
to get down to him now.”
And then the girl burrows into the endless tangle of her
hair, pulls up what looks like it actually is the end, and Sara has to laugh;
now she understands the hair. She
remembers this fairy tale from her childhood.
The girl begins to tie her hair to one of the girders. She ties a double-knot, then pulls on it,
hard. The knot doesn’t slip.
“Ready, Jamie?” The
boy nods, and throws his arms around her neck.
She takes hold of her hair about halfway down her back, and, in one
fluid motion, leaps off the Tower.
Sara knows what to expect now; she isn’t even surprised when
she looks over the edge to find the girl rappelling down the tower a few bouncy
steps at a time…

About the Dream Series
What if you could see everyone
else’s dreams? That’s the question Sara
has to wrestle with in the Dream Series.
We first meet her as a shy, bookish college student who doesn’t think
there’s anything extraordinary about herself.
And then the dreams start…
Over the course of the series,
Sara learns to live with these supernatural dreams and all the trouble they
plunge her into. At the same time, she
grows from a student to a practicing doctor; and from a single girl to a wife
and mother. But every time she thinks
she’s got everything figured out, life – and her extraordinary dreams – teach
her that she’s always got more to learn…
