Occam's Dream

by Lauren Jane Barnett

Genres: Women's Fiction

Synopsis

What is the value of a lie when you're protecting whom you love? Dream analyst Ursula is experiencing painful visions of an unknown desert. At first, her therapist, Jill, suggests it's only a dream. But when Ursula suffers another vision while hooked up to Jill's dream reader, both realise that there may be more at stake. While Ursula is keen to uncover what her visions mean and why she's having them, Jill and her partner, Mackenzie, struggle to keep the truth a secret - Ursula's visions are actually memories. Occam's Dream delicately balances psychology, truth, and relationship against the sacrifices one must make for the sake of the world, and poses the ultimate question: Is it ever possible to truly control a narrative?
