The Sunshine Dream Resort

When Odin Hobbs had a heart attack he didn’t see lights or hear choirs, he just died for a few minutes. Ever since then, he’s been having incredibly vivid dreams. He’s beginning to wonder if they're more than what they seem. When he and his wife visit the Tropical Dream Resort, in an effort to patch their marriage, he learns the truth about his dreams, and then some.

The resort is hosted by Miss Ruby Hutchinson, a Jamaican administrator of distinction, who is also rumored to be a powerful Obeah woman. It’s a rumor she neither confirms nor denies. Her second-in-command, Jon Ericson is dealing with more than just his crush on the newest staff member. He’s also contending with Vincent Gratiot; a man who takes his job a little too seriously. At any other resort that wouldn’t be a problem, but unfortunately for the guests under his care, particularly Odin Hobbs, Vincent is the man in charge of their dreams.

During his stay, Odin runs into several guests, including an ugly duckling in the process of discovering she's quite an attractive swan, a lonely retiree in search of happiness (and sleep), a loud, perpetually grouchy widow and an odd Czech psychic. It’s a touching, dryly humorous story of life, death, near-death and a vacation at a beautiful Florida resort.
