Just a Dream
from Songbook: Country Music Reimagined Hosted by Sonja Heisinger
When a young, pregnant Army wife-to-be moves into the house next door, Hank—a solitary former soldier who has spent a lifetime watching from the shadows—finds himself quietly drawn into her world. As Reese prepares for the birth of her son while waiting for her fiancé to return from deployment, an unlikely friendship begins to form between two people separated by age, experience, and grief. Just a Dream is a story about the families we’re born into, the ones we choose, and the fragile, beautiful futures we build while waiting for the people we love to come home. Inspired by Carrie Underwood’s heartbreaking ballad “Just a Dream,” this is an original short story featured on Songbook—the serialized fiction podcast where beloved songs become the inspiration for stories about love, loss, longing, and the moments that change us forever.
