Echoes of a Dream - Willow Tree Trilogy, #1

One nurse.  One comatose soldier.  One extraordinary leap of faith. While Jack lies lost in a coma, Erin meets him in a dream, connecting their worlds as a strange volcanic ash fills the sky over Kentucky. When a bizarre blitz of blinding light turns the earth into a wasteland, she continues to see him in the ether between rapture and reality, until the day he walks out of her head and into her life. Surviving together in a world where evil breathes in shadows and monsters roam the streets, they continue to share dreams while fighting for a life worth living.
But in a world that tests his strength and courage at every turn, is Jack strong enough to let dreams of the heart become a reality worth fighting for? And can the love of a very special woman keep him from becoming the monster he fights so hard not to be? This is the story of Jack and Erin, two souls forged by fate and bound together by an extraordinary love.
