Book Reading & Signing Event with Local Author Patricia Goodwin

From the author's press release: Dreamwater is a unique thriller inspired by the history and beauty of Marblehead. It is a stand-alone novel that does not depend on having read the previous book. 

Like the layers of past and modern life we experience every day in Marblehead, Dreamwater travels back and forth in time, from 1692 to 1995 where modern characters are also struggling to make their dreams come true: Peter Treadwell is trying to come to terms with his young wife’s sudden death, while his daughter sees and speaks to her mother’s ghost; his son Pete wants to study ghost hunting, but finds himself caught up in internet dangers; Jo Simmons just wants to enjoy her new business and her new husband, but she is being stalked; Cassandra is working very hard on understanding reality as well as she understands her psychic visions.

Marblehead emerges as an extraordinary place. A place of almost paranormal loveliness, a place of history, of magic, a place where people still strive, but a place where many, rich and poor, have divined how to live, how to find their dream and how to make it real. The author commented on her choice of setting. “I know writers who write about Minnesota the way I write about Marblehead, but, for me, it will always be Marblehead that is the most beautiful and fulfilling place to live.”

Patricia Goodwin is a poet and writer who has published many works of non-fiction and fiction, as well as poetry. To find out more about the author, please visit patriciagoodwin.com.
