I read this book. I'm still not sure what it was about. It started out talking about a van that a man wanted and his receiving it. Then discussed the trouble with the van. Suddenly it switches gears and discusses this couple being at a grave side and their conversation. Another switch and someone is missing and someone is searching. kissablysweet1/Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17041462067813981907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714335031850872366.post-35646269641705591462011-12-26T21:31:00.000-05:002011-12-26T21:31:06.518-05:00Review of: Moon Dreams by Dean Johnson
