We've all heard the phrase, "The American Dream." Some say The American Dream is dead. In other circles, it has become fashionable to say that it never existed. However you might describe it, each and every one of us is pursuing - searching - for something. All of us have goals. All of us hope to bring together the right mix of education, hard work, and smart choices. The plan generally starts with going to college, without much thought given to the details of what will come next. You're 18 or 22 years old, and it seems obvious that all the pieces will over time simply fall into place. But then life actually starts, and you find what comes next is neither obvious nor simple. Where are you ten years down the line? Welcome to the novel, Searching for the American Dream, a contemporary story of human connections, modern romance, self-definition and choices made.
