Dreams. Most girls spend their entire lives hoping their dreams will, someday, come true. Bri (Bee) Masters isn’t one of them. Every dream she’d ever had has come true…..unless she found a way to stop it. There are only two people in her life that know about her dreams: her mom and her best friend, Jarred (Jay) Barber. Whether the dreams are a blessing or a curse, divine intervention or clairvoyant dreams rooted in Louisiana magic, Bri doesn’t care. Her goal in life is to make it through her senior year without drawing attention to herself. She finds herself dateless to the prom after her boyfriend and shortstop on the high school baseball team, Jason Frost, dumped her for another girl. She turns to the one person she had trusted since kindergarten: Jay. He’s furious at Jason for hurting Bee. Not only is she his best friend, she’s been the girl of his dreams for as long as he could remember. Since Jay’s the catcher for the baseball team, he makes it his mission to take care of Jason. And then the dream began. Jay tried desperately to wake Bee out of the fitful dream. She finally came to, dazed and confused. She quickly realized this was the worst dream she’d ever had. Jason was going to be kidnapped. Jay’s torn between hating Jason and knowing he has to help Bee save him. Between typical high school drama, prom, and baseball play-offs, they had enough on their plates. Now they have another problem to face: Dreams.

This early work by Jerome K. Jerome was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Dreams' is a short essay on dreams by this humorous author. Jerome Klapka Jerome was born in Walsall, England in 1859. Both his parents died while he was in his early teens, and he was forced to quit school to support himself. In 1889, Jerome published his most successful and bestremembered work, 'Three Men in a Boat'. Featuring himself and two of his friends encountering humorous situations while floating down the Thames in a small boat, the book was an instant success, and has never been out of print. In fact, its popularity was such that the number of registered Thames boats went up fifty percent in the year following its publication.

Olive (Emilia Albertina) Schreiner, Mrs. Cronwright (also wrote as: Ralph Iron) (1855-1920) was a South African author, pacifist and political activist. In 1867 she moved to Cradock with her older brother. When her brother left Cradock, Olive chose to become a governess. She accepted posts as a governess at a number of farms, most notably the Fouchés who provided inspiration for certain aspects of The Story of an African Farm (1883), published under the pseudonym Ralph Iron, as well as a small collection of stories and allegories called Dream Life and Real Life: A Little African Story (1893). However, Olive's ambitions did not lie in writing. By 1880, she applied to the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh to be trained as a nurse, but her ill-health prevented her from completing the training. She returned home in 1889, where she felt extremely alienated from the people around her. In an attempt to reconnect with her surroundings, she became increasingly involved in local politics and produced a series of articles published posthumously as Thoughts on South Africa (1923). Her other works include: Dreams (1891) and Woman and Labour (1911).
