		Daughter of a Methodist minister, narrator Carrie Willis is nine years old in the first of the vignettes that compose the novel, brilliantly encapsulating and refracting the girl's childhood in rural 1950s Florida.
		In her beguiling first novel, The Kneeling Bus (Ticknor and Fields, $18.95), Florida is a place where a bright girl savors dreams of becoming a missionary, dreams that possess a haunting quality long after the child has grown up and abandoned them.
		Once again, Coyle (after her fine debut novel, The Kneeling Bus,1990) plumbs the past-this time within the brittle, corrosive psyche of a 91-year-old Floridian native-to uncover a lifelong secret shame whose racist core is crazily mirrored in the present-day setting of joggers' trim front lawns and smug tolerances.

	Dreamcatcher Review (DVD Movie/Film)
		It must surely be obligatory in reviewing any movie based on a Stephen King novel to muse how adaptations of the horror geek’s work range from the sublime (The Shining, Misery, Carrie) to the ridiculous (Sleepwalkers, The Dark Half et al).
		Dreamcatcher does retain a kind of hokey enjoyment factor throughout, but it’s a crying shame it’s not the film it could have been.
		If the first hour of Dreamcatcher is most definitely in the first camp, a genuinely taut thriller that promises big things, the second half rapidly plumbs the depths of Stephen King hell.
