Dream’s Sake
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
(From ‘Dreams,’ by Langston Hughes)
Dreams give life to hope, breath to ambition and a meaning and purpose to existence, making it what can be called ‘Life.’ We all dream, and we all do what we can to make our dreams come true. But how far can a person go to fulfill the dreams of someone else? That’s the question that the two closely inter-linked love stories in Dream’s Sake seek to answer.
Dream’s Sake is an intense and gripping novel telling the story of dreams, of friendship and of love, all of these gasping and struggling under a heavy burden of past traumas, personal doubts, fears and insecurities, and social prejudices.
