A reluctant hero, mysterious portals, inexplicable abilities! She must be off
her trolley.
Cynthia Peabody can’t sleep. Recently widowed, her future seems a dreary
blur. While practicing meditation techniques to fight insomnia, she discovers
a mysterious portal in her backyard through which her dreams are shockingly
realistic.
She runs to her neighbor for help after a dream about a dog leads to a real
dog in her yard. The next-door teen offers to be the dog walker and a
surprising friendship develops. Juniper’s natural sincerity influences
Cynthia to reevaluate her grumpiness.
While dealing with complicated grief along with her life turning toward the
supernatural, Cynthia’s doctor’s report brings lousy news. What
else can go wrong? She’s desperate for answers.
Pouring out her heart to her husband’s memory, she fears the only
logical explanation is that she’s gone mad. But people in her hometown
need help, especially a certain next-door teenager. Wishing she’d had
someone looking out for her when she was young, Cynthia will do whatever it
takes to protect the vulnerable, even if it means risking her life.
