Dreaming

For Ted Marasaill, freshman year at Harriman University is a clean slate. No one at the prestigious West Coast school knows about his unconventional upbringing in a small Midwestern town, about the tragedy of his past and the loneliness that haunts him. At Harriman, he will be just like everyone else, trying to balance academic and athletic responsibilities with parties, girls, and all the usual trappings of freshman life. But then the dreams begin #xE2;#xAC;#xA6;Vivid and haunting, Ted#xE2;#xAC;"s extraordinary dreams reveal a strange new world, in which he is the key to a brewing rebellion. His guide through the dreams is Emily, a mysterious girl who is as beautiful as she is elusive. Night after night, Emily insists that the dream world is real and that the details of Ted#xE2;#xAC;"s familiar life#xE2;#xAC;#x1D;his cross-country scholarship, his new friends, even the secrets from his childhood#xE2;#xAC;#x1D;are the true illusion. Torn between knowing just what is dream and what is reality, Ted realizes Emily will stop at nothing to recruit him to her cause #xE2;#xAC;#xA6; and that the past he#xE2;#xAC;"s tried so hard to bury may hold the key to his future.
