About the Book

As the title suggests, Awakening is a collection of dreams. In keeping and refining a dream diary, Christa Gorman has cataloged the potent and emotional images of her dream world.

These dreams, each a short story unto itself, offer insight into the surviving spirit of the dreamer, once the victim of a scaring hostage situation. Many of the enclosed dreams revolve around survival. Persistence in terrifying situations makes this possible.

At 26, Christa is the survivor of a hostage situation. She has successfully turned this experience into a gripping collection. Her dreams and words reflect both her fear and determination. This catalog of deep-sleep serves to inspire the persistence and bravery necessary for life in reality, not just in the vivid world of dreams.

About the Author

Christa is a native of Heidelberg, Germany and has made her home in various places across the United States. Now a U.S. citizen, she resides in the state of Indiana and works a business owner.

As a survivor of a hostage situation, writing began as a form of self-therapy. Christa entered college, but found writing far more rewarding than the pursuit of a high-paying career in the medical field.
