Wendy Akahana Arcon is a Philippine-based medical nurse. Despite being one of the best in her field, her life is far from perfect. Her parents are divorced and both had another family after getting remarried with someone else. As the only child she is, she's all left alone. The only people she have was her best friend and her boyfriend who's both in the field of acting. A day with an alarming gray color of clouds, she made her way to Isla Corazon, an Island located kilometers away from a beach resort in Samar. Who would have thought that ignoring what the sky is telling her will only lead her into being stuck with a blind man? Stuck in an old rest house. A week with him in the middle of storm. What could get any worse?

Everyone saw the dream. No one saw the cost. This is not just a story about working abroad. It's about what happens after the plane lands. About the aching silence of hospital shifts, the goodbyes said through video calls, and the grief that doesn't wait for permission to arrive. Told through the eyes of a Filipino nurse in the UK, The Other Side of the Dream is a raw, intimate journey of love, loss, burnout, faith, and healing. From the heartbreak of watching her father's last breath through a screen to the quiet breakdowns between promotions, AJ Gabriel writes with the kind of honesty that doesn't scream-but stays. Each chapter is a letter. A prayer. A confession. And woven through every page is music-songs that carried her when words failed. This book is for every OFW who smiled while silently falling apart. For every daughter who left to build a future and lost parts of herself along the way. For every nurse who gave everything and finally learned to choose herself, too. This is the story of the strength no one sees. The silent faith that held her together. And the quiet voice that finally said, "This is my truth." © 2025 AJ Gabriel. All rights reserved.
