Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Jenny Cole lives with her husband and son in middle America. She is pregnant and starts to have very vivid dreams about a small city that has a big church. She starts talking to her mother about it and her mother shows her some drawings she made when she was a child. To her amazement they are identical to the drawings from the dreams Jenny is now having. Jenny and her mother do research and find that the dreams are about a small town called Malahide in Ireland in the 1930s. The mother gives Jenny and her husband and son tickets to go to Ireland so that she can go to Ireland to find out about her dreams. Has Jenny lived in the past after all as Mary Sutton?
