Dr. Sara Alderson didn’t think she had a problem in the world, when she walked into the office for her first day as a partner in her own medical practice. And then the police showed up and arrested her for a crime she couldn’t possibly have committed. Twenty four hours later, after a horrifying day and night in jail, Sara comes home a different – and completely broken – woman.
Clearing her name is her first challenge, but that’s nothing compared to the task of rebuilding her shattered psyche. And the only way she can do that is with the help of the supernatural dreams, the same dreams that have nearly cost Sara her sanity – and almost got her killed – in the past.
Dream Family is the third book of the Dream Doctor Mysteries.
I’m just finishing up with Grace Sorrentino. She’s in room 221, just as she is every time she comes in. And, just like the last several visits, she’s doing very well. “Your blood tests are perfect, Grace,” I tell her, and she gives me a shy smile.
“But I still need my shots?”
“Nice try,” I smile back. “But don’t pretend you don’t know.” Grace shrugs; I guess she had to try. But she’s a smart girl, and she understands that she’s always going to need her insulin shots. I’m about to send her home. One of her father’s employees – a new one this week – is waiting impatiently to take her back to him, but I hesitate. I don’t want to let her go without checking on her mental state. "Let me ask you one more thing. Are you sleeping better? Or are you still having nightmares?”
“Sometimes,” Grace says, her smile fading. “But less. My father says, when I have a nightmare and I wake up, I have to remember that my mother is in Heaven now, and she’s watching me. He said,” she scrunches her face up in concentration, exactly the way Lizzie does sometimes, “that my mother wants me to remember her, but she doesn’t want me - uh, not to live every day myself.”
I can’t help myself; I picture Lizzie receiving the news that Grace received six months ago. I can see my daughter trying to be brave, Brian trying to console her. I – no, I have to stop. Grace is here, she needs me to focus on her.
