2020, 2025: Where do YOU see yourself in five years time?
Type-A Manhattan lawyer Dannie Kohan has been in possession of her meticulously crafted answer since she understood the question. On the day that she nails the most important job interview of her career and gets engaged to the perfect man, she’s well on her way to fulfilling her life goals.
That night Dannie falls asleep only to wake up in a different apartment with a different ring on her finger, and in the company of a very different man. The TV is on in the background, and she can just make out the date. It’s the same night – December 15th – but 2025, five years in the future.
It was just a dream, she tells herself when she wakes, but it felt so real… Determined to ignore the odd experience, she files it away in the back of her mind.
That is, until four and a half years later, when Dannie turns down a street and there, standing on the corner, is the man from her dream…
Imagine going to sleep in one NYC apartment only to wake up in another five years down the line. The strangest thing is that you can’t remember the last five years..
This is a story that takes you around some lovely sights in NYC as well as some deep, dark and meaningful themes. There’s Dumbo, Central Park and some wonderful cafes and deli places.
The city is the background however for the story is that of the past and future and a woman’s place and journey in it.
