"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 she 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.
