Land of Dreams

Land of Dreams is an inspiring romantic novel about an English professor who discovers she doesn’t have to accept a life of unhappiness. Five months short of her fortieth birthday, Ellie reflects on how musing about the meaning of life just isn’t the same as it was in her twenties, when her life was opened up before her like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new. Ellie finds solace from her disappointments in her daily runs and while writing her intensely personal confessional poetry, published under the pen name Avery Vaughn, which allows her a sense of invisibility from the world. And after her young colleague and best friend, Marta, takes her out when they are supposed to be at an English conference, the dance floor becomes another place for her to disappear from it all. Enter Dr. Liam Curran, writer, critic, mountain climber, musician, and professor-a beautiful, radiant force, both commanding and gentle. Against her will, Ellie is drawn to him. How can he know so much about her life? Immerse yourself in a world where literature and poetry dance with mystical forces to reveal the natural order of the events in our lives.
