Oakley delivers a stunning story that explores the complexities of long-term relationships, digs in to the mysteries of human connection, and illuminates both the joyous and heartbreaking realities of “happily ever after.” 

Mia has a seemingly perfect life: she married a wonderful man and they are happily settling in as newcomers in a small, quaint town where everyone knows everybody else. The only thing missing from their picture-perfect existence together is children, a dream they once shared but which seems to be slipping further away.

Mia has other dreams too: all-too-real dreams about a stranger she’s never met, a recurring figure she shrugs off as an inconsequential function of her subconscious. But when she meets the exact man she’s been dreaming about in real life, she is convinced she might be crazy. Until this mystery man reveals that he’s seen her in his non-waking hours, too.

What begins as a frightening coincidence becomes a quest: Mia and this man embark on a fact-finding mission about the nature of dreams, discover moments where they might have met in the past but didn’t, and Mia begins to question every decision she’s ever made—including whether she and her husband are, as they say, “meant to be.”
