Her latest brand new release of ONLY A DREAM went on Amazon recently. It tells the story of Thomas Peterson, MD, a successful Chief of Thoracic Surgery of a large Philadelphia hospital, is mysteriously transported to ancient Israel during the years 27 to 30 AD. With his 21st century medical knowledge, he rises to become the famous, fabulously wealthy royal physician of King Herod and the owner of a luxurious villa on a large estate which includes over one hundred slaves. An atheist Jew, Thomas, who relies on science and not faith plus a firm conviction of being a good person, is suddenly faced with the surprising discovery that having unlimited power over others, combined with enormous wealth, releases in him actions and feelings he never thought possible. This book deals with faith, doubt, confusion and even anger as Thomas meets the lowly Carpenter who declares He is the Son of God and challenges him throughout this astounding, treacherous journey of self-discovery. Dream or reality, that is the constant question during his journey as his professional, moral and spiritual world is shaken to the core by events beyond his control.
