Love and Dreams is a romance set in the context of New York society
in a period that spans the last century. The story is woven into
New York's richly textured social history and the rituals
established by New York's first settlers: the WASP gentry and the
German-Jewish aristocracy. Love and Dreams tells of friendship and
of love. Love is powerful and the characters of this story3/4Ogden
Graves, Bandit and Charlotte Hutchins, Henley and Hayes Buchanan,
Andy Morgan, Alice Munro Gonzalez, Vera Whitmore, and others3/4are
touchingly human. A story of friendship and love is always a story
of loss. People die. Those left behind must try to transcend the
limitations of life on this earth. The friends are helped by each
other. They are helped by imagined or real invisibles. . . angels
devoted to preserving remembrance. The characters of Love and
Dreams live in a world of unqualified privilege and experience. As
we join them in their struggles and triumphs, we understand them
only too well. Their names may be Ogden or Charlotte or Andy. But
they are really ourselves. "It's about time she shared with us her
remarkable insight into human life. . .what she has seen to be true
of women. . .and, of particular note in Love and Dreams, to be true
of men." --Mary-Leighton Land Smith
