The Perfect Dream: Unraveling loss with dreams and love

"The Perfect Dream" is a lyrical, deeply emotional coming-of-age novel that explores the fragile edges of memory, grief, and identity. When a seemingly ordinary afternoon slips into a dreamscape, a young man is transported into the life of the brother he never got to know-the infant who died of SIDS decades earlier. In this haunting and heartfelt journey, past and present blur as he begins to see life through his brother Eric's eyes. As childhood fears, family dynamics, and the ache of relocation collide, he's forced to reckon with the weight of unspoken loss and the echo of a life never lived. What unfolds is a profound story of connection, legacy, and rediscovery. "The Perfect Dream" challenges what it means to lose someone-and how love can tether us across time, memory, and even dreams.
