The Living Room, book #43

And yet another supremely well written book by our favorite author, Robert Whitlow. Super amazing book I can't wait to discuss with my Book Club Buddies next week.  The one thing that stuck with me about this book is how the main character totally flopped, and then later redeemed herself.  But I did not see the flop coming!!  I was shocked and surprised that she could go so wrong, but in the end it still ended up good. (or "well", my kids are always correcting me on that and now I have a low sense of confidence in the use of that word!) The description below sums it up great...

Amy Clarke’s dreams are coming true—and that’s the problem.
Legal secretary by day, romance novelist by night, Amy Clarke lives with a precious secret. For years, she has traveled to a holy place in her dreams—a sublime place she calls the Living Room. When she awakes, her faith and energy are supernaturally restored. And when she dreams, she receives vibrant inspiration for her novels. 
As she begins to write her third book, the nature of her dreams shifts. Gone are the literary signposts. Instead, her dreams are studded with scenes that foreshadow real life. Before long, the scenes begin to spill over into her waking hours too.
As Amy becomes entangled in a high stakes case at work, her visions take on a dark hue—implicating someone dear to her, causing her to question everything. And convincing her to trust someone with his own shadowy secrets.
Things are not always what they seem. But as fiction, dreams, and real life begin to overlap, Amy must stop dreaming and act to prevent tragedy. (picture and description at amazon.com)
