Double Sunset

by Kristin Smith

Ava Banks is 18 and visiting England after devastating events have forced her to question what she is doing with her life. While on Rudyard Lake for the summer she begins to dream of a family living on the prairie in the 1800's. The connection Ava feels to this family goes far beyond her sleeping dreams and effects every aspect of her new life in England, even threatening to destroy the relationship with her new friend, Jack. Can Ava put the pieces of her broken life back together with the help of these vivid dreams or will they destroy her future?

Reviews

[Grace Novak · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a cute short story with a hidden message! The love story in this book was very cute, I did not see the connection in the book coming.

[Williams Fulton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great (too) short love story with a touch of mystery and tragedy, all within the paradox of parallel lives more than a century apart.
