Arizona Dreams
Recently retired and widowed after 25 years of marriage, Maine native, Sharon Peterson, seizes the opportunity to spend her winters in Arizona, craving a fresh start. As she immerses herself in the warmth of the Southwest, Sharon's world takes an unexpected turn with vivid dreams transporting her to a time before the Westward migration. These dreams blur the boundaries between reality and memory, unveiling the possibility that they are more than mere figments of imagination. Could they be revealing a long-ago connection explaining her affinity to the Southwest?
Amidst this mystical experience, Sharon forms unexpected connections through a class, meeting vibrant Donna Mackenzie, and finding a supportive friend in her home's builder, Joseph Ramos. Just as Sharon embraces her newfound independence, she meets Hal Jackson and a late-life romance unfolds, challenging her notions of love and second chances.
As Sharon leans into her newfound independence and love, the question lingers: is she moving too fast or surrendering to the Universe's grand design?
Déjà vu Dreams
After a transformative winter as a snowbird in Arizona, Sharon Peterson's excitement to reunite with her daughters in Maine turns into apprehension.

Amidst the emotional turmoil, the dreams of a Native American couple from a distant past persist, resuming upon Sharon's return to Arizona. The enigmatic connection between Sharon and Shy Dove takes center stage as their intertwined destinies unfold. The threads of romance and destiny weave an intricate tapestry, inviting readers to explore whether true love can triumph over the trials of the past.
Will Sharon and Shy Dove find their long-awaited happily ever after, or will the complexities of love force Sharon to make a choice that will shape her future?
