Dream a Little Dream
The Sequel
Publication Date June 12, 2025
In this follow-up to South of Happily, Katy Kiss has moved on from the trauma of a failed marriage and the worst year of her life—at least that’s what she’s telling herself.
So why is she having nightmares about a mysterious stranger lurking in the darkness?
She’s agitated, her future is unsettled, and her relationship with Nickety-Nick is perplexing. They’re talking again, but does talking mean dating, or does it mean…well, she doesn’t know what it means.
She downplays her anxiety during therapy, but Dr. Jonas suspects something more serious is brewing. Katy is nodding off during their appointments. Peculiar, even for her.
What Katy won’t admit is that she’s afraid to fall asleep. The dreams are scaring her, and when she’s awake, the paranoia sets in, as does the urge to body slam anyone who startles her.
In Dream a Little Dream, the storm is rolling in. Katy’s umbrella is torn, her shoes are soggy, and she has no clue she’s in the eye of the most shocking Kiss family secret yet.
This emotional narrative weaves together the humor, heartache, and rich history of an immigrant family as Katy grapples with the consequences of well-intentioned deception.
