Million-best-selling author Christine Hamel has written another masterpiece after "As Long as the Stars Still Shine", one of the top ten works of the American book review website with an ultra-low tear point of the year, a love story in parallel time and space.
Kate keeps her heart closed after the pain of widowhood until she meets the perfect man, Dane. Just before Dane proposes, Kate, who wants to have children, is diagnosed with infertility, but fortunately Dane only wants to continue to be his top guest after marriage. However, just as she is about to start a new life and face the happiness that has come again, Kate begins a series of strange dreams.
In that lemon-yellow "dream," her husband, Patrick, who died twelve years ago, did not die in a car accident, but looked like he would have grown old if he were alive, and the two even had a beautiful daughter, Hannah, who lived together in their old apartment on Chambers Street in New York.
Can this unexplained dream make Kate love again? Is it possible for two parallel pieces of space-time to intersect? And is the dream between her and Patrick her useless remembrance of a past that cannot be regained, or a prophecy of a better future?
