Have you ever had a dream that was so real that you felt that it was? Follow Daniel J. Wilcox as he travels from dream to dream trying to find his real life. As you read through the pages, the story jumps from one dream world to the next, sometimes returning back to a dream world to revisit. He meets a pair of twins who travel through dream worlds as one would travel to different places on vacation. Their names are Jill and Heidi. They follow Dan from one dream to the next and try to help him find his way back to his real life. He is a police detective in one dream, a WWI fighter pilot in another. He also is the commander of a moon base in still another dream. The characters not only change occupations but also eras in time and age groups. The longer he stays in these dream worlds, the more unstable he becomes mentally. By the end, you might ask yourself if what you are reading is real or just a dream. But you will never know until you finish the book, or will you?

The New York Times bestseller that's "heaven in hardcover" (New Orleans Times-Picayune) for Saints fans. In the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, no symbol of disaster was more potent than New Orleans' Superdome: it became a horrific shelter of last resort where the utterly desperate rode out the storm. Four years later, in that very stadium, the New Orleans Saints won the NFC championship and earned their first-ever trip to the Super Bowl, where they defeated the favored Indianapolis Colts 31-17. This is the inspirational true story of a city recovering from disaster and a team with a history of heartbreak, as seen through the eyes of the coach who would help elevate them both to long- forgotten greatness.




QB 1


Book Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of TRAVEL TEAM, HEAT, and MILLION-DOLLAR THROW comes a cheer-worthy, family-friendly football novel set amid the Friday Night Lights world of Texas high school football Jake Cullen is a freshman quarterback playing high school football in Texas, the high-pressure land of Friday Night Lights. He is also the brother of Wyatt Cullen, who quarterbacked his team to the Texas State Championship last season--not to mention the son of former NFL quarterback and local legend, Troy Cullen. To be a Cullen in Texas is to be football royalty . . . which leaves 14-year-old Jake in a Texas-sized shadow. Being a good teammate comes naturally to Jake; being a winner and a celebrity does not. Jake may be a Cullen, and he may play quarterback, but he is not his brother or his father. He's just like every other kid: fighting for every ounce of respect, awkward around a pretty girl, in awe of his famous family, and desparate to simultaneously blend in and cast his own shadow. Inspired by the real-life Manning family of quarterbacks and set amid the football-crazy culture of Texas, QB 1 is a coming-of-age story perfect for the fan of MILLION-DOLLAR THROW and HEAT.
