In February 2004, Terina Devine is hovering on the edge of her life, confronting
her past and praying for inner strength to forgive herself and let go of a choice
she was forced to make. Thirty-three years have gone by since then. Yet, even
with the passage of time the decision for that choice still continues to destroy
her soul.
Everyone knows her as "Bitch". She earned the title after the loss of the man she
had loved more than her own life. Friends had been worried. They had tried to
convince themselves that she was only delusional as a result of the shock of his
untimely death, and in due course her gireving would ease, and she would soon
return to her happy self. But they had been wrong.
To some, Terina was regarded as knowingly insensitive. Others simply thought she
had gone mad when her emotions began clouding her better judgement and
challenging her heart.
When She Dreams is one woman's story, chock full of love, comfort, desire, and a
sprinkling of humour. But most importantly, it's a story of how a life can be
changed when mental illness, mixed with tragedy, defeats a mind and chills a once
warm heart.
