The book is an adventure story that takes place during WWII. The hero has crashed behind enemy lines. He is rescued by the dream people, among whom is his dream-lover-to-be. The book is full of delicious intrigue and romance.

A hauntingly beautiful tale - Parker has taken her ability for dream analysis to a new level. -- Carol Adrienne, co-author, The Celestine Prophecy: An Experiential Guide

Alice Anne Parker had me from the first line.

Its the kind of lead sentence they teach you about in writing class. I know this because the first time I heard this line was in a writing class last year in which Parker, who was then polishing this novel for the publisher, read her opener. Everyone wanted more.

The line is: Paper Doll was going down. As with any well-done work, this book can be understood and appreciated on a number of levels. Those who believe that dreams may be windows to another place may take it literally. Those who merely enjoy an engrossing story will be satisfied, too. The themes might be seen as anti-war, anti-prejudice, feminist and humanist. It is certainly a hopeful story.Writers will appreciate the craft. Parker takes the narrative from the short, punchy, telegraph-speak of a military man delirious with wounds and fearful of revealing anything but name, rank, and serial number to the lyrical, sensuous passages that become possible as he learns to understand those around him, and meets his lover in more than dreams. -- The Honolulu Advertiser, January 25, 1998

As the lone survivor of a bombing mission in the Pacific in World War II, Captain Kilty Stewart is rescued by a native people know as the Snorra, who see in his arrival the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. As the seriously wounded flier and his saviors flee their enemies, seeking refuge in a secret mountain sanctuary, it becomes apparent that dreams are regarded among these people as a medium of guidance and prophecy, to be gravely considered and studied for their messages. In crossing the chasm that separates their experiences, both Stewart and the natives gain understanding and enrichment. This book appeals on several levels: as adventure, love story, anthropological study (it is based on research into the Senoi tribes of central Malaysia), and mythic fantasy. One of Hawaii's leading psychics and a recognized authority on dream interpretation, Parker skillfully weaves principles of dream theory into her narrative, in the process offering the reader simple tools to access the intricate world of dream work. -- NAPRA ReVIEW, Spring 1998

In this wonderful book, Alice Anne Parker establishes herself as a magnificent storyteller and spiritual teacher. I was unable to put it down. -- Michael Peter Langevin, co-publisher, Magical Blend Magazine

Skillfully blends the conscious with the supeconscious, the act with the consequence, and the illusion of reality with the reality of the intuitive. -- Elizabeth Engstrom, author of Lizard Wine
