A Scream in the Night, a Song in Florence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My scream scared away the tiny bird sitting on the floor in the corner of the doorway. Then without any visual image of it, a dog came immediately to the side of my bed. In my mind’s eye, it was Peanut or Chester, the current and former dogs in the household in Louisville. The fear was real, but I don’t know what I was afraid of specifically. It was an intense dream.
