Tiegen Richards, a determined grad student, cannot tell her dreams from waking reality.  Her journal system helps her identify what’s real, but sometimes a dream slips through.  Tiegen likes Geoff, from the UK, but hasn’t detailed her dream disability to him, because her ex-boyfriend labeled her “mental,” just before he dumped her.  

When Tiegen overhears a hate crime being planned, she and Geoff put themselves in danger, gathering evidence to convince the local police to act.  But how can she convince Officer Jessica St. Marie to take the threat seriously, when even Tiegen isn’t quite sure what’s true?

I’m delighted to read another Woodsdale novel by author Sharman Badgett-Young who does her research so thoroughly when writing about subjects of which I know little.  Mental illness, though plaguing Tiegen, hasn’t detracted from her ability to continue her pursuit of college as a grad student nor to have a romantic involvement.  Yes.  There are detours along the way in all parts of her tenuous life.  I love the suspense, too, when Tiegen and Geoff get deeply involved with the criminals.
