The cover of the book is eye catching and a little bit creepy. Like any good performer, The Cure for Dreaming presents itself well. Winters breathes new life into history once again with an atmospheric, vividly real story, including archival photos and art from the period throughout. These supernatural challenges only make Olivia more determined to speak her mind, and so she’s drawn into a dangerous relationship with the hypnotist and his mysterious motives, all while secretly fighting for the rights of women. But the hypnotist, an intriguing young man named Henri Reverie, gives her a terrible gift instead: she’s able to see people’s true natures, manifesting as visions of darkness and goodness, while also unable to speak her true thoughts out loud.
It’s 1900 in Oregon, and Olivia’s father, concerned that she’s headed for trouble, convinces a stage mesmerist to try to hypnotize the rebellion out of her. Olivia Mead is a headstrong, independent girl-a suffragist-in an age that prefers its girls to be docile.
