On June 5, 1968 Senator Robert F. Kennedy, then a candidate for President, is mortally wounded by assassin Sirhan Sirhan in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Among the innocent bystanders who were also shot that night is a young idealistic reporter from San Francisco, Alex Hurley. The tragic incident changes his life as he's swept up in the turbulent events of 1968. Alex is conflicted about the Vietnam War after spending six months there as a reporter. The war costs him his first marriage and threatens to tear his family apart. However, he meets a woman who's love restores his hope and together they forge a new life set against the backdrop of the war, the civil rights struggle and political upheaval in the San Francisco Bay Area. Alex Hurley's story is part political thriller and partly a romance in Dreams That Never Were, the latest historical fiction novel by award winning author Greg Messel. The title comes from a famous quote of Robert F. Kennedy's Some men see things as they are and say, 'Why?' I dream of things that never were and say, 'Why not?'
