The Dustman

A romantic fantasy about grief, second chances, and the forgotten power of dreams.

Meg used to believe in magic—before life wore her down. Now, she’s a middle-aged widow with two rebellious teens, a pink slip in her purse, and a one-way ticket back to the sleepy hometown she tried to forget. Her aunt insists she needs time to grieve. Meg isn’t so sure. But when she starts writing the story of her childhood companion—the mysterious Dustman Luk—she begins to remember what she left behind.

In Dreamland, Luk is fading. Forgotten by his dreamers and drained of light, he’s on the brink of losing not just his dreamplane, but himself. That is, until Meg starts dreaming again.

Drawn back to each other across the boundary between waking and sleep, Meg and Luk must rediscover the truth of their connection—and the love that once sustained a world of dreams. But will it be enough to restore his fading magic before Dreamland collapses forever?

Perfect for fans of deeply emotional fantasy, midlife heroines, and stories that ask: What if your childhood dreams were real—and still waiting for you?
