The Book of Dreams

Drifting through his dreams while in a coma, Henri Skinner relives important moments in his life, getting a chance to choose different paths. What could he have done differently? If he had just held on to his father a little bit longer, he wouldn’t feel the need to run. If he had stayed with Marie-France he would know his son, Sam. If he had not saved the drowning girl in the river he wouldn’t be fighting for his life. But now it may be too late to say I’m sorry, to get to know his son, to atone for his sins. Then there is Sam, skipping school and sitting by Henri’s hospital bed, faithfully visiting the father he never knew. Falling for a young girl whose life is also hanging in the balance, Sam learns what hope is even when he’s surrounded by sadness. Finally, there’s Eddie, the woman who still loves Henri and, in spite of all their cruel words to each other, holds his life in her hands.
