Résumé
"A weird and wondrous book! The ending will surprise you and is worthy of the best psychological thrillers." ~Clarissa Harwood, author of Impossible Saints"Haunting and captivating!" ~ Publisher's WeeklyWhen World War II drags Maggie Lerner's husband off to Europe, Maggie joins the workforce as one of America's Rosies. Though she savors her freedom, she is haunted by a dream that leads her to believe something terrible will happen to her husband.
After the war, Sam returns home unscathed, and Maggie, who once again takes her place as a doctor's wife, believes the dream will disappear. Instead, it evolves into an all-consuming world where Maggie is admired for her strength; where she can have whatever she wishes. Resenting her conventional life, she willingly surrenders to the temptation of imagined perfection. But all is not as it seems. Beneath the dream's flawless surface, a monster lies in wait.
In an era of post-war feminism and the latest in psychoanalysis, Maggie will need to confront this evil-whether real or imagined-before it destroys both her worlds.

Biographie de Leslie Tall Manning
Leslie Tall Manning is an award-winning novelist who loves writing about grown-ups who crave change and often discover it in ways they never expected (KNOCK ON WOOD, MAGGIE's DREAM, and GAGA). She also writes about teenagers who believe in independence, often stumbling into it headfirst (RULES OF FALLING, UPSIDE DOWN IN A LAURA INGALLS TOWN, and I AM ELEPHANT, I AM BUTTERFLY). As a private English tutor and writing specialist, Ms.Manning spends her evenings working with students of all ages and her days working on her own writing projects. When she isn't clacking away at the computer keys or conducting research for her books, she loves traveling with her artist husband or strolling along the river in her sweet Southern town. She is proudly represented by the TriadaUS Literary Agency.
