Book Feature: Dream Vacation Book 8 In The Dream Series By James Dibenedetto
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. But her gift has taken an unwanted vacation, and without it,
Sara has no idea how to rescue Grace. In a foreign city, with no clues, and her
dreaming talent failing her for the first time, Sara must figure out another
way to find Grace before it's too late.
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…
Excerpt:
Three AM. Why
is it always three AM with these dreams?
“Who was it?”
He doesn’t need to ask why I’m awake and muttering at three – sorry,
3:01 AM, now. All he needs is the details.
“Grace,” I say.
He stares at me, his eyes asking a question. I hold his eyes, shrugging apologetically,
and he’s got his answer. A whole conversation
in five seconds and one word – I guess that’s what happens after almost
fourteen years of marriage.
“You were going to tell me last night, weren’t you?”
I was. But when
I walked into the bedroom and saw him lying there, just waiting for me – well,
what was I supposed to do?
I scoot up next to him, smile, and trace a finger the
whole length of his scar. It really
isn’t that bad. I did about as well as
anyone could have when I operated on him, considering the circumstances. If I’d had more time to prepare, or a full
surgical team, or the right facilities, there might not be a visible scar at
all. But I didn’t – and if I hadn’t
operated when I did, in the middle of that horrible storm a year and a half
ago, I might not have a husband now.
He doesn’t mind the scar, and, anyway, it’s just
something we have in common now. I still
have the old scar from my appendectomy, so we match. His finger goes to it now, and I shudder a
little at his touch. Just like
always. “What can I say? I just can’t resist you.”
“I get that,” he says, with a wicked grin. “And you didn’t tell me beforehand because…?”
He knows perfectly well why. “You can’t keep a secret. I mean, you can at work, I know that. But not with me, or the kids.”
He starts to shake his head, but I glare at him, and
he sighs heavily. “I admit it,” he says
finally. It’s the same reason that, when
we want to really surprise one of the kids on their birthday, I handle
everything. Brian and I agree on a
dollar amount and a general idea, but I buy the actual gift myself, and he
doesn’t see it until it’s unwrapped.
