Description
Percy Hope had an extraordinary talent that earned him a fortune and the affections of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. However, the lifestyle that accompanied his otherworldly talents soon wearied Percy. In time, he lost it all—his talent, his fortune, his beautiful but troubled wife, and his will to live.
After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, he moves back home to care for his dying parents and attempts to rebuild his life. That’s when the dreams begin. As Percy grapples with his shattered life, A Life of Dreams unfolds—a story about a man who had it all and a woman who took it all away, leaving them on the edge of despair.
It explores the miracle of forgiveness, the power and limits of redemption, and the journey of healing and renewal, where the agent of the supernatural just might be a stray dog named Sam.

Swapna P, Reviewer
"A Life of Dreams" is a magical realism novel that follows the lives of Percy and Beth, focusing on love, forgiveness, and past confrontation. Despite its promise of depth and complexity, the story feels disjointed and lacks depth, leaving readers wanting more substance. The story's length is a major pitfall, with characters like Percy feeling flat and lacking dimension. The inclusion of supernatural "gifts" is overlooked, and the character Sam's portrayal lacks the necessary exploration to resonate with readers. Despite its thematic richness and moments of magic, "A Life of Dreams" is a satisfying story, leaving readers wanting more depth and coherence in its execution.
