There’s a haunting contradiction at the centre of Life Could Be A Dream. On the surface, Sarah has everything: beauty, privilege, a handsome husband, an elegant home, and the kind of curated life that resembles a glossy magazine spread. But beneath the designer clothes and glass walls sits something far more fragile – a woman…
