Outline:
In
a dreamlike garden, which we are led to believe is a world
within Hannah's sleeping mind, in limbo between life and
death Hannah resides with her father. However, Hannah's
limbo is actually a reflection of Lynn's own bedside purgatory.
It does not exist in Hannah's mind but in Lynn's. She
wants to communicate with Hannah so badly that she imagines
her thoughts as Graham's dialogue in order to decipher
her daughter and their complicated past.
It isn't until after four years of sleep that Lynn finds
Hannah's private journal. This newfound insight into her
daughter may be Lynn's first step towards healing. . .
