"Animals dream about the things they do in the day time just like people do. If you want sweet dreams, you've got to live a sweet life."

"Animals dream about the things they do in the day time just like people do. If you want sweet dreams, you've got to live a sweet life." So says Loyd Peregrina, a handsome Apache trainman and latter-day philosopher. But when Codi Noline returns to her hometown, Loyd's advice is painfully out of her reach. Dreamless and at the end of her rope, Codi comes back to Grace, Arizona to confront her past and face her ailing, distant father. What the finds is a town threatened by a silent environmental catastrophe, some startling clues to her own identity, and a man whose view of the world could change the course of her life. Blending flashbacks, dreams, and Native American legends, Animal Dreams is a suspenseful love story and a moving exploration of life's largest commitments. With this work, the acclaimed author of The Bean Trees and Homeland and Other Stories sustains her familiar voice while giving readers her most remarkable book yet.

    It has taken since the end of August for this title to reach the top of Mt TBR as it kept getting pushed down again by bookrings and rays which have to take priority. At last I got to it and it was a refreshing read. Life set in Arizona with a complete different set of problems,than those she left behind in the city. Though of no less importance to the main character Codi who is struggling to find herself. She has returned to her hometown and confronts her past head on finding it difficut to dream Animal Dreams.
