Tildy Sullivan is the middle child in an elite yet fading Manhattan family.
Her quiet practicality hides her deep, profound longing for childhood
summers in western Ireland. She also carries a secret regret. After her
mother’s death, she’s persuaded to abandon Ireland and the love
of the local boy, Aiden.
When Tildy volunteers for a lucid dreaming experiment, it gives her all she
wants – a life lived for her family during the day and a secret,
perfect Ireland of her own at night. Will she face reality, or succumb to
the ease of her dreams?
THE STATES is a modern reimagining of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, a
story of love, obligation, and second chances.
