What if your life became a dream of a life you had never lived?

One morning, April Norris awakens to a world that never existed and her life is a life she never lived.She finds herself thrown between times and worlds that are both foreign and familiar to her. And at the center of it, one person, who has never existed in her memory except from one dream, resides to take center stage in her different worlds.

A rational woman, she seeks the answers to the mysteries that have changed her world. Is she traveling in time and dimensions? Is she dreaming or are the changes that constantly spin her life out of control the result of trauma? Has she died or is everything merely a product of the place she has come to call Dreamville?

As the lost puzzle pieces of her life fall back into place, she questions what is real and what is not and whether Dreamville is a nightmare or the truth.

"She's just gone?" I asked. I sat down on the soft, leather, couch next to Andy.
"Another one?"

He nodded, as he wrapped his arms tightly around me. "They're just vanishing, Sweetheart, no signs of anything. Nothing left behind, until the pictures."

I laid my head on his shoulder, and squeezed his hand in mine. All I wanted to do all day was sit together in the quiet of our lakeside cottage after a few too many long days.
The one he would happily tell me about how he remodeled it from a decrepit wreck, to his bachelor pad. Then how it turned into our love nest, where we had been living in sin for so long now. With its comfy leather furniture, big windows, worn oriental floors over the carefully refinished oak floors that Andy painstakingly did himself all those years ago. "I'm sorry . . . There isn't a chance that they are runaways?"

He shook his head, and dropped a kiss on my head. I don't want to move, he thought, or think about this. I just want to sit here with her, listening to the rain on the lake. Possibly take her on this couch. "Too many, too soon, Kelley. Listen to me. I want you to be careful, and don't look at me like that. You're about their age, and I . . . I don't want anything happening to you."

"Nothing is going to happen to me," I promised, stroking his cheek. "You don't have to worry so much."

"Famous last words," he sighed, trailing his fingers through my hair, Harold our golden retriever jumped up on the couch with us. "I mean it, Kel. I want to teach you to use my gun."

"You know how I feel about guns," I groaned, pulling back to look at him. Giving Harold a scratch behind the ears, I fought the urge to shake him. "Andy, I'll be fine. I'm tougher then I look."

"You might feel differently if this guy comes after you."

"I can defend myself, and I don't need a gun to do it. Will you stop playing overprotective cop with me?"

"Hey. We're getting married in a month, of course I'm going to worry about you," Andy replied, kissing the top of my head. Stubborn, he thought, and not that naïve.

"There is someone out there taking young women, and . . . I'm not sure what they're doing to them. Those pictures . . ."

"Do you think that they're dead?" I asked softly, rubbing his thigh and noting the dark circles under his eyes. "You'll find who is doing this, Andy. You're too good a cop not to."

"How do you always know the right thing to say?" he asked, tilting my face up to his and giving me a tired smile. "I love you, Kelley."

"Hmm," I murmured, as he kissed me and lowered me down on the couch.

"Dammit," Andy muttered, as he stared down at the photographs on his desk a few days later.
"How? This isn't even possible."

"Sheriff?"

"John," he said, nodding toward his 25 year old deputy. "What do you have for me?" ...

In 1922, F Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple, intricately patterned". That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned and, above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace be comes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.

It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties and waits for her to appear. When s he does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbour Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem. Perry Freeman, Amazon.com
