Morning Light

New Yorker Anna Baum feels as if she has lived her life with her face pressed against a window watching other people enjoy living. Her only friend is an imaginary childhood storyteller named Boonah, who one day mysteriously disappears. Secure and successful as a teacher in a posh private school, Anna finds herself wondering how she grew up an outsider, lost her childhood storyteller, chose a profession she didn't want, and married charming but abusive Max. Life changes when Anna seeks out a job teaching emotionally disturbed preschoolers. A potent nightmare and a virulent bout of pneumonia force her to confront the reality of her marriage. During a long hospital stay, two nurses breach her protective wall. Boonah reappears and with him, she recover her stories. The transformation is profound and powerful. Anna finds herself in a world filled with new possibilities.
