Dreams of War

2nd Edition coming February 2025

In the pivotal year of 1917, America teeters on the edge of joining the Great War, and young James Grayson stands at a crossroads. Eager to carve out a purpose larger than himself, he boldly enlists in the US Army, a choice made as countless others are drafted into service. Yet, the brutal realities of war shatter his dreams and reshape his identity. Instead of returning home as the man he aspired to be, James finds himself grappling with the haunting shadows of paralysis, an insidious opioid addiction, and a relentless battle within his own mind. His journey transforms from one of valor to a profound struggle for redemption as he seeks to reclaim the life he once envisioned. Amidst the turmoil, however, he discovers unexpected love that lights his path, offering hope and healing in the darkest of times.
