Okay, imagine if you could just... sleep through your grief. Seriously. After a devastating loss, what if you could check into a special clinic, go to sleep, and wake up healed? It sounds like a dream, right?
Well, that's the wild, controversial promise of The Poppy Fields, an experimental treatment center tucked away in the California desert. But here’s the catch, and it's a big one: you have to be willing to accept the potential "shadowy side effects." There's always a price.
This is the destination for a motley crew of four strangers—and one very good dog—who are all desperately trying to outrun their heartache. You've got Ava, a book illustrator; Ray, a fireman; Sasha, a therapist; and Sky, a free spirit. They're all piling into a car on this epic road trip from the Midwest, each carrying heavy secrets that could derail the whole journey before they even get there.
From the author who gave us the smash-hit The Measure, this story is a stunning and tender exploration of what it means to heal. It’s about that messy, universal, yet deeply personal path we all walk after loss. It's a high-concept novel, for sure, but it’s grounded in this incredible found family and their shared hope for a second chance.
It makes you ask: How do you heal from something that shatters you? And how far would you be willing to go to feel whole again?
