Lia had always dreamed of more, a life full of music, art, and numbers, and maybe... someone who could see her for who she truly is. When she gets into her dream university, life seems perfect: scholarship, part-time job, and quiet mornings in the library where Luke, the boy she's admired from afar, studies just a table away.
But everything changes in an instant. An accident plunges Lia into a coma, and in her mind, a world unfolds where dreams are real, and Luke is closer than ever... yet more mysterious. Is this Second World just a dream, or something more? And if it's real, will she ever be able to return?
A story of love, longing, and the fine line between reality and imagination.
Finding out we were going to be parents was supposed to be the happiest time of our lives. Instead, I feel my husband, Ethan, drifting away from me a little more every day. He's late coming home from work, he disappears for long periods of time, he's irritable and closed off, and nothing I say or do seems to reach him.
As tensions between us mount, I'm discovering parts of my husband's past that I never knew existed. And when everything comes tumbling down, I'm forced to ask myself: how well do I really know the man I love?
