DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

The Dream

Picture
​
  1. In the prologue, the narrator, Daisy, speaks about The Law of Our Firsts? Do you believe this law to be true?
  2. If you were Everton, would you have heeded Daisy’s father’s warning and stayed away from Daisy altogether?
  3. What did you think of the relationship between Daisy and her sisters? Can you relate?
  4. If you were Everton, would you have “stayed in the truck”? If you were Daisy, would you have fought more for a relationship with Everton? Could they have made it?
  5. What were your thoughts in Chapter 13 when Daisy sees Everton again after six years?
  6. If you were Daisy, would you have continued to visit Everton in his office?
  7. In the wedding chapter (Chapter 21), who do you believe Daisy is watching from her church pew in the back row? Whose wedding is she attending?
  8. Do you believe Thomas Jefferson got it right? Do you believe that as we grow older, we love those most whom we loved first?
  9. Do you agree with Daisy or do you believe there is a distinction between being in love and loving someone?
  10. Did you catch on to the twist before it was revealed? If so, what tipped you off?
  11. Looking back on The Dream, are there parts that pointed to the twist?
  12. Do you believe that Daisy and Everton are happy in their current lives?
  13. Do you see The Dream as having a happy ending?

Back cover summary

Picture
​Most people call her Delilah. But he called her Daisy. He was seventeen and a guest in her family’s home the summer she turned fifteen. They weren’t supposed to fall in love. But Everton knew two things early on. One: He knew that she was a rule he was most likely going to break. And two: He knew that if anyone discovered their secret, he would be forced to leave. That day came in early August. And it came without warning—or a goodbye. Now, she’s twenty-one. He’s twenty-three. And she’s standing right in front of him—close enough to touch. But he can’t. It’s been six, long years, but one thing remains: she’s still forbidden. And this time, he can’t cross the line. 💞

To my sisters ...

Daisy, the main character in my  latest book, has two sisters, Mona and Anne.
​​
That's not exactly a coincidence.

Mona and Anne are inspired by my own two sisters. And honestly, they helped to inspire the entire novel. In every story that I write, I'm first inspired ... by a setting, by a plot, by a person. And then, that inspiration spills into every aspect of the story from the first page to the last. For The Dream, that inspiration was growing up on a farm with two sisters. I love the relationship that Daisy, Mona and Anne have. I love that they grow up and learn about life together. I love that they don't always get along. And I also love that they eventually become best friends. And while The Dream is ultimately a love story, I do hope you enjoy the side story of these three girls. After all, you wouldn't have Daisy and Everton if you didn't first have Daisy, Mona and Anne!


The Dream will be available in just four days on April 2. Until then, you can pre-order your copy at the special pre-order price on Amazon now! ♥ Laura

My latest novel will be here THIS spring! I can't wait for you to read it. But for now, I'm so excited to share with you, for the first time, the back-cover summary:

Most people call her Delilah. But he called her Daisy. He was seventeen and a guest in her family’s home the summer she turned fifteen. They weren’t supposed to fall in love. But Everton knew two things early on. One: He knew that she was a rule he was most likely going to break. And two: He knew that if anyone discovered their secret, he would be forced to leave.
     That day came in early August. And it came without warning—or a goodbye.
     Now, she’s twenty-one. He’s twenty-three. And she’s standing right in front of him—close enough to touch. But he can’t. It’s been six, long years, but one thing remains: she’s still forbidden. And this time, he can’t cross the line.
