This story is based on a reoccurring dream I have had. I have decided to expand on the dreams in my journal and create the story of aurelia theadora Mansfield. The story is set 1863 to the 1890s and follows the life of her and her family at their manor house. Aurelia is a strong minded young lady who knows what she wants and being just someone's wife is not it. She is out spoken and very strong willed she will not be lady like nor will she be seen and not heard. This story is a roller coater of emotion from loss to gain, life and death love and hate, trust and betrayal. I will try and post ever Saturday from now on. If you would like to hear more about the book or my dream journal take a look at my tiktok page @theoneironautic.
