Sally’s Dreams

About the Book

We meet Sally as a young Barnard student struggling to escape from her parents’ troubled relationship. She embraces healthy distance in Stanford Law, only to be pulled back into the family drama via her father’s disappearance. Eventually, joining her Israel-born physician boyfriend, she travels to Israel, where some of her father’s secret life is revealed. Via the FBI, she helps trap her dad, who is returned to NY for trial. Sally’s own life seems on hold, until circumstances free her up to look at her own emotional struggles; this help her leave one relationship, and embark on her search for a healthier professional and emotional life.
