This book begins as a coming-of-age story about a young man named Robert Bryant and his younger sister Emily: strangers in a new town in 1953. Robert befriends football team member Roger LeBlanc. Roger has a younger sister named Coralie, who befriends Emily. Born a genius with exceptional coordination, Robert excels at sports in high school. However, due to his nature, Robert struggles with the concept of love and only maintains short, casual relationships. Years later, Robert finds the passion of love where he least expected. But things in his life change suddenly, which propel him into a world of betrayal, deceit, and treachery as Robert struggles to reunite with his one true love. Along the way, Robert discovers a dark past and things about himself, which accounts for how he became the way he is.
The above paragraph is a synopsis of my new book that I use for advertising and promotional materials. Here I’ll try to fill in some more details without ruining the storyline. The tale began in 1953, a long-forgotten era and so different from our modern times. That should be interesting to most readers: to explore another time and place. And I remained true to that period in the description of fashion, vernacular, social interactions, etc. It certainly was a completely different culture than we have today.
Robert Bryant is part of a wealthy family and maintains a close relationship with his younger sister. Robert exhibited signs of being a genius since his early childhood. Most people born with extremely high IQs on the level of Robert’s become stereotyped in many ways. Most of them remain focused solely on the cerebral aspects of their development and not their bodies. Some are ostracized in school, leading to complexes and frustrations then and as adults. Therefore, they forfeit many priceless experiences in their youth and adulthood. Robert was also born with extreme physical coordination. His parents went to great lengths to develop his advanced physiological and mental capabilities, so he could enjoy a ‘normal’ life.
Robert realizes the concept of true love easier to comprehend once he finds it with a woman he least expected. That’s when things take off. Then, he is undoubtedly cast into a world of betrayal, deceit, and treachery.
All drafts I sent to nonbiased readers before publication came back overwhelmingly positive. They all loved the characters and progression of the story. Before the halfway mark of the book, things change drastically in the story. All of the designated readers found the unexpected twists and turns entertaining.
This romantic book is a story about true love and all its elements. 'My Dream Lover' begins as a cute coming-of-age tale but escalates into much more. The story becomes one of dedication to reuniting with a sole mate. The importance is not whether or not it was achieved but the devotion to trying. True love is ever faithful, ever-lasting, and never-ending. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did writing it. Enjoy this adventure of love.
The book is described as having a touch of science fiction. It does, but just a touch, and it is done intelligently.
Available soon at Amazon and other fine book stores.
