Dreams and secrets. Every person, family and community has them. Dreaming in Grey chronicles the life of five generations in Grey County, Ontario, Canada. The story of Sara, raised in the heart of Grey County, is told parallel to the life story of her grandmother, Ruth. Both generations are shaped by their dreams, secrets and struggles. As nine-year-old Sara stumbles through a grief-filled summer following the death of her mother, she is desperate to hold her fractious family together and searches for help for her troubled spirit and body. At her darkest time, help comes from an unexpected place, and she sees a way forward. This is a touching tale of a family defined by loyalty, betrayal, rigidity and personal dreams. Woven through the story are accounts of one of Grey County’s most famous women, Agnes Macphail, the first female Canadian Member of Parliament. Equally fascinating in Dreaming in Grey is the mystery of why and how the history of Black settlers in southeast Grey County became lost. Prepare to laugh and cry. In the end, you’ll feel as if you are part of Sara’s family. You’ll want to live in Grey County.
