Advance praise for The Dream Keeper's Daughter Moving effortlessly between modern-day South Carolina and nineteenth-century Barbados, Emily Colin takes her readers on a passionate and sweeping tale of a woman haunted by a loss she can't explain, and a future she can't yet choose. Lavishly plotted and expertly paced, with characters as richly drawn as their settings, The Dream Keeper's Daughter explores what it means to follow our hearts--even at the risk of losing what we hold most dear. I was captured from the first page and, like Colin's lovers who are fighting time and space to be reunited, came up for air only after the remarkable journey was complete. --Erika Marks, author of The Last Treasure In The Dream Keeper's Daughter, Emily Colin thins out the line between present and past, dream and reality, and allows you to cross over into a haunting world that will make your heart race, weep, and celebrate things that are lost and found. This story immerses you in a time that should not be forgotten and explores the infinite rippling effect of decisions, guilt, accountability, and love. --Samantha Sotto, author of Love and Gravity Praise for Emily Colin's The Memory Thief Mesmerizing . . . dazzlingly original and as haunting as a dream. --Caroline Leavitt, author ofPictures of You [A] richly emotional tale . . . a writer to watch. --Joshilyn Jackson, author of A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty
