Reflections on a Dream (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781804392898)

Paul is struggling with the early stages of recovery from addiction to pot and alcohol, trying to write and paint while figuring out what to do with his life, his teaching career as a professor having been interrupted by his addiction. His life is complicated by an increasingly tense relationship with his girlfriend, Jennifer, a former student of his, with their constant arguing driving Paul to the threat of relapse. With this relationship breaking down, Paul's head is quickly turned when he meets Julie at a group meeting, a woman of his own age also recovering from addiction.

Torn between his love for Jennifer and his new-found attraction to Julie, Paul must work out which relationship, if any, he truly wants, and avoid letting his tumultuous romantic life send him spiralling back into addiction.
