Of Dreams and Tragedies

by D.A. Lawson

Michael Moriority and Allyson White both grow up in small towns, one in Kentucky, the other in nearby West Virginia. Their family lives, however, are worlds apart. While one is surrounded by a loving, supportive family, the other’s family is neglectful and abusive. Despite the differences in their home lives, both Michael and Ally experience horrible tragedies during their childhoods. The events forever change their lives. One develops a deeper faith; the other loses faith entirely.

When their paths cross as adults, they are overwhelmingly drawn to one another. Their past tragedies have the potential to drive them apart, however. There’s another threat, an obsessed stalker, who not only threatens Michael and Allyson’s relationship but their very lives. Tragedy may crush their dreams once again when one sacrifices all for the other.

Of Dreams and Tragedies by D.A. Lawson is a story of life, tragedy, and connections. As children, Michael Moriority and Allyson White lived worlds apart. To the outside world, Michael had a great life. Michael had his Papaw Dan, his parents, and a girl that he came to cherish and value, his neighbor who became his girlfriend, Carlie Martin. Allyson and her oldest sister, Becca, lived in a world of the unknown. Without a mother to protect them, their father would go on drunken binges where the girls never knew from one day to the next when their father would come home. There were times that he never came home alone or he would go into a drunken rage and attack the girls. Read more https://readersfavorite.com/book-revi...

Interesting book - not quite what I was expecting. There was a lot going on. I really felt like this could have been great, there was just something missing. I think I could have connected with the characters a bit more, but even with that said, I wasn't ready for the book to end when it did.
