Where the Deer Dream

A Coming of Age Adventure in Spirit

By: Sarah Bamford Seidelmann

Narrated by: Erin Rieman

High-school senior Meera has big plans. She's going to make the world beautiful. The only problem is that to do this she's got to attend interior design school at the university, hundreds of miles from home. She hasn’t gone on a sleepover since seventh grade. Thank God, her BFF Penn is there for her because with Lorraine, her mom, it’s complicated. When Meera discovers something unexpected, a whole lot of confusing things suddenly make sense and, simultaneously, absolutely nothing is clear. Meera senses she can’t get through this in the ordinary way. It’s going to take otherworldly assistance. But, will she have the courage to open that door? And, will it even matter?

Meera’s epic and mythical adventures lead, quite unexpectedly, to more contentment and joy than she ever could have imagined. Meera’s journey, which features the adoption triad of mother, birthmother, and adoptee, teaches us about the essential wisdom of following our heart's desires, paying attention to the omens and messengers along the way (especially the wild ones), and the importance of pursuing our dreams.
