WHEN DREAMS REMEMBER

What if the fears you carry were never entirely your own?

Adopted in infancy, Hannah Glass lives an anxious and guarded life shaped by early exposure to trauma. At fourteen, she watched the 9/11 terrorist attacks unfold on television; years later, she witnessed her fiancé’s sudden death. Now an accomplished investigative journalist, Hannah begins to search for the story of her birth mother. While pursuing a professional assignment to interview a renowned trauma expert, she is drawn into a mysterious inheritance from a long-lost relative—diaries and family histories that trace her ancestry to Holocaust-era Europe and earlier histories of persecution and survival.

“When Dreams Remember is a compelling psychological tale of memory, family history, intragenerational trauma, and fate. Jacqueline Heller’s novel picks up various threads from her earlier volume, Yesterday Never Sleeps, and weaves them into a fascinating tapestry. This is a must-read, riveting, page-turner for anyone interested in understanding the connection between emotional inheritance, healing, hope, and love.”

“In a tantalizing, page-turner, Dr. Heller has given us an update on understanding the mind, the brain, and the heart. While a stay-up-late read, this book is a description of what we now know about how the brain encapsulates experience, how trauma passes down the generations, and how human decency heals. I feel honored to have read it.”
