Description from the publisher:

"Why is this so hard for me? Why am I having so much trouble? Why do I feel so helpless, so hopeless? What the hell is wrong with me?"

After tangling with murders and mobsters, not to mention medical school and three years of residency, Sara thought she could handle anything. And then the police show up without warning at her new office and arrest her for a crime she can't possibly have committed. Sara's confidence, and her grip on reality, is shattered during one terrifying night in jail.

Now, the very dreams that have endangered her life and driven her to the edge of madness may be the only thing that can help Sara find herself again...

"Dream Family" is the powerful fourth novel in the "Dreams" series..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the fourth book in a series. Though each could stand alone, there is greater understanding in reading all of them, in order.

One the very first day of private practice, the police show up and arrest Sara for a crime she couldn’t have possibly committed in only four hours of business. Twenty-four hours in jail is enough to trigger old memories that leave her with a PTSD. Not only do her dreams help her solve the crime of which she has been accused, but also several other situations involving those she loves are also resolved from the dreams of her and her family.

This story was a little more emotional, more personal. I think all women can relate to the fear of the violations and indignities inherent in the act of being incarcerated. Though Sara is torn apart, in fact broken, emotionally by these actions, she also rallies the strength and love she is able to garner from family and friends to soldier on in order to gain her permanent freedom.

I am so glad I signed on for all five books in this series. Thank you J.J. for sharing them with me and with the world. J.J.’s growing mastery of his craft is evident in the richness of character and plot development in this story.
