About this listen

Ellie feels lost and alone after surviving the car accident that killed her seven-year-old son, Jake. She needs help to cope with her grief and survivor’s guilt, so her doctor prescribes her sleeping pills. These pills do more than help her sleep; they bring her son back.

In her dreams, Jake lives on, her family is whole, and it’s as if the accident never happened. But seeing her son for a few hours at night is no longer enough. She wants more, but the more time she spends with Jake, the worse her health and relationships in the real world become.

The line between Ellie’s worlds begins to blur. When she is deprived of her pills, it threatens everything she has come to believe is real. She wants it all, and she will push past the point of no return to get it.

This was a heartfelt and emotional story of grief following the loss of a child. It was really well written, and while you could see Ellie spiralling out of control you could also completely understand why she was and the driving force that was stopping her from seeing the reality of her spiralling situation.

Tiffany Vanlandingham's narration was beautifully done and expressed the raw emotions coming through in the story. Her soft spoken narration for this was a perfect choice for the story.

A journey of grief
