About this ebook
In 1950s Tennessee, Ivorie Walker's quiet life is upended when a mysterious, feral boy begins stealing from her garden, setting her on a journey of love, redemption, and the true meaning of family.
In this poignant novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Christmas Hope series, Donna VanLiere tells the story of Ivorie Walker, a woman in her early thirties who is considered an old maid in her small town. When her mother dies, leaving her alone to work the family farm, Ivorie finds herself lost in unexpected loneliness, despite years of rebuffing the advances of imperfect yet eligible bachelors.
Her life changes when a dirty-faced, feral boy begins sneaking onto her land to steal from her garden. Haunted by the young boy's desperation, Ivorie is determined to uncover his identity and the circumstances that led him to live in the hills, stealing food to survive. As she steps out of her comfort zone to find answers, she unleashes a firestorm in the town—a community that would rather keep secrets buried.
The Good Dream is a heartwarming story of redemption and the true meaning of familial love, showcasing Donna VanLiere at her very best.
