Life is busy for Riley Travis: working on her doctoral thesis, attending to her responsibilities as a graduate assistant, dealing with her long-distance relationship with her boyfriend David. Her apartment was a wreck, her dog needed a walk, and the hours in a day were just not working in her favor. Unless she could sacrifice much-needed sleep and nourishment. Thank goodness for her loyal friend Peg, who popped in at the best times to offer support. Just the typical and exhausting life of the typical grad student. Riley couldn’t fathom another thing to add to her list of growing responsibilities. And then comes the letter. A blast from her childhood. Georgie Roe had not forgotten her after ten years of silence. Georgie Roe, who Riley knew as Ginny, was a name of infamy during her years at Cornell University. She was outspoken, determined, and the most influential part of Riley’s life. When the letter arrives, Riley is flooded with memories she hasn’t time to entertain, but that are necessary in propelling her next move in life.
Norma Hansburg creates a story of childhood reflection and simpler times in Street of Dreams. As the plot shares the same location from the perspective of two decades, the reader is reminded of a time void of cell phones and computer urgency. Riley’s constant need to move is interrupted and she is reminded to slow down in a world that always moves. I enjoyed Street of Dreams and the opportunity to join with the main character in an afternoon of reflection.
