For Native American Ellen Williams, The Reading Nook was her baby – lovingly furnished and designed, it showed her love of books and reading and was a haven for Ellen and her customers. When Ellen and the other small shop owners in Old Town were notified of the impending destruction of the buildings they were located in, to build a big glass monstrosity (which definitely wouldn’t fit in with the area) Ellen was devastated.

When Ellen and the other small shop owners in Old Town were notified of the impending destruction of the buildings they were located in, to build a big glass monstrosity (which definitely wouldn’t fit in with the area) Ellen was devastated. But she vowed to fight the developers with all she had…

Ellen also had a gift which meant occasionally she saw the future – but lately the nightmares made her wish she didn’t have such a gift. The feeling of impending doom wouldn’t leave her. The day the stranger appeared in her bookshop the uneasiness and feeling of a fateful connection hit Ellen quite suddenly. But Travis Petersen was an old army buddy of Ron, her brother. A different person since returning from Vietnam, Ron was reclusive – it seemed Travis was visiting her brother unexpectedly. But why did Ellen feel troubled and so against Travis?

Travis had dark and tormenting secrets in his past; secrets he was unwilling to share with anyone except Ron. But as he began to feel more settled in the quiet peace of the small town, he and Ellen formed a tentative friendship. And with the pressure and intimidation from the developers, suddenly Ellen needed help. With Jenny, her cousin from Australia whom she hadn’t known until the previous year and her husband Mike, plus Travis, they struggled to find a way to save The Reading Nook. But could they fight the might of the developers?

Set on the beautiful Oregon Coast, The Dreamcatcher by Aussie author Maggie Christensen is the second in the Oregon Coast series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Catching up again with Jenny and Mike plus other characters from The Sand Dollar was lovely – getting involved with Ellen and new characters in The Dreamcatcher makes me keen to read the next instalment. Beautifully written, The Dreamcatcher is an emotional ride filled with love of family; of tentative new love and also of grief. It is also a book I have no hesitation in recommending highly.

She has never had a serious relationship as ...more
