Prologue

Noel Maher and Amelia Jarvis share a perfect life: jobs they love and a young daughter they adore. But their idyllic lives are about to change forever.
'The Arms of Morpheus' tells the desperate story of two parents as they struggle to come to terms with - and battle against - the most terrifying ordeal imaginable: the impending death of their child. The book examines their coping mechanisms and pits the power of dreams and ancient mythology against the data driven world of science; forcing them to confront painful, suppressed family secrets and, through their differences, work together if they are to save the one thing that is most precious to them.
