This collection of short stories presents a varied cast of protagonists, some hardened by life and some still vulnerable. The stories explore how fate can shape the path of life-life's ups and downs, peaks, troughs, and redemptive moments. The dreamers in these stories look to forge better lives for themselves.
- There is Sean, the failed student in Barred, who sees himself as a victim and whose self-indulgence and rage in response to rejection leads to serious consequences for those around him.
- Eamon and Sarah, in While Maintaining Social Distancing, form their unlikely connection against the backdrop of a pandemic.
- The Blue Line has Clare as it's hero, a mother taking stock of her own life on a train journey following the death of her brother in America.
- There is also Daniel, a young inmate in Winged, struggling to survive in an unrelenting and uncompromising world.
- The factory floor workers in Dreamers are trying to establish futures for themselves in 1940's Ireland
- A Family Affair explores the life of a Cork family from three different perspectives.
These are just a snapshot of the dreamers contained in this collection. Dip in and allow yourself to be transported, moved, and inspired.
