The Color of a Dream: can a dream tell one woman the path she needs to follow?

The Color of a Dream is the fourth book in The Color of Heaven series by Julianne Maclean. In a continuation story from The Color of Hope, Nadia Carmichael is learning to live after a heart transplant and raising her infant daughter. She is grateful for her new life and finds joy in the little things. She has a recurring dream of flying while it doesn’t frighten her, Nadia feels the dream is trying to tell her something. She wakes up with questions. Could it be related to the identity of her donor? She decides to figure out its meaning. In the meantime, the father of her daughter blindsides her by suing her for full custody. In preparation for her case, Nadia meets Jesse, his estranged brother, who is a rescue helicopter pilot, and the nature of her dreams becomes clearer and leads her down another path.  

The Color of a Dream was a fast paced read with plenty of drama, sweet moments and an exploration of dreams and finding a new path in life. I enjoyed this story more than I did The Color of Hope, which I did enjoy, however, I loved the growth of Nadia and her desire to fight back. I also enjoyed the introduction of Jesse and he was a great character in Nadia’s journey. There were moments when I wanted to scream at certain characters and wanted to shake some sense in them.  I also loved the possible connection to the next book in the final chapter. Overall, I enjoyed this story as I could not put it down. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. If you haven’t started this series, I highly recommend it. I highly recommend The Color of a Dream. 

The Color of a Dream is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook
