Fresh Dreams

About the Book

In these fifteen stories, Jill Stephenson explores the many moods and shades of the current American landscape. From every strata, every social location, we find in these pages a unique array of voices, the everyday man and woman still struggling to maintain their individuality against the mass pressure to conform.  Everyone is here: the blue-collar man, the office-executive woman, the rock star, the adolescent, college students, immigrants, the homeless and the moneyed establishment.  A masterpiece of genre and subject, Fresh Dreams offers a vibrant vision of ourselves, a people still strong enough to endure, still capable of discovering their humanity against overwhelming odds.
