The Dream Time is a memoir that reads like a novelette about first love and coming of age. Find out how love for two inspiring teachers, one a man, the other a woman, transforms a shy girl, who's sure she's ugly and dull, into feeling unique, talented, and special. Though shocked by the reality of sex one winter's day, our ninth grade girl daydreams her way back into true love for her teachers and for a boy on whom she has a timid crush. Surrounded by the music of the 60s, especially the soft tones of Simon and Garfunkel, she experiences the joy of first love -- and the pain.
