Touching the spirit of a young boy is a wonderful beginning for all of us who wish to grasp the spirit of a people and even a nation. My latest work, PETER’S DEAMS AND OTHERWORLDLY THINGS, is the story of Peter, an imaginative young boy who desperately wants to escape the burdens, disappointments and, most of all, overpowering fears that threaten to make his life unbearable. His journey to a seemingly unattainable horizon is an apt metaphor for every person’s search to find fulfillment, answers to life’s unknowns and the ageless dream of freedom.
Peter’s journey is an experience available to all, but one that is offered especially to those with an imagination and spirit as adventurous as fortune itself. His story is one that will surely be remembered long after the pages upon which it is faithfully recorded are closed for the night. After all, night is when young minds dream of travels on the other side of elephants, secret monsters and the closet door. Perhaps it’s real or perhaps it’s a young man’s imagination, but I hope PETER’S DREAMS brings the spirit of youth alive for you and that you enjoy your journey.
