# When the Forest Dreams A Novel by Andrea Ezerins (Paperback)

**For fans of L. M. Montgomery’s _The Blue Castle_, a contemporary retelling of the beloved romance that follows a sheltered young woman’s quest for love in New York City—and her search for a rare and elusive bird in the deep Arkansas forest.**  
  
**What if the life you were meant to live was waiting just outside your door?**  
  
_New York City, 2013._ Emma Jablonski’s life is as dry as the day-old bread at her family’s bakery. Living with her parents and grandmother, she clings to the only escape she knows: a recurring dream that feels more real than her waking world. But when Emma’s eyes are open, she’s reminded of what’s out of reach—Jake, the enigmatic boy-next-door.  
  
After a life-changing diagnosis forces her to face her fears, Emma decides it’s time to truly live—before it’s too late. With Jake and his vibrant friend Vee, she dives into a whirlwind of experiences: a fake engagement, dazzling parties, and an obsession with the elusive ivory-billed woodpecker, a bird that may not even exist.  
  
But as her daring adventure is coming to an end, Emma begins to embrace a future she never thought possible. Dreams and reality aren’t supposed to mix . . . are they?  
  
_A modern retelling of L.M. Montgomery’s_ The Blue Castle, _this gentle story of love, resilience, and the beauty of the unknown reminds us to seek joy in the most unexpected places._
