Such Things As Dreams

About the Book

Two talented young people, Carrie and Chris, meet in summer theatre, fall   in love and marry before going into New York in search of success on Broadway.  But their rosy dreams for the future run into problems in the theatre world of the big city.  The first problem is learning how to accept rejection and come back for more.  When jobs do appear, further stumbling blocks come with them … separation, loneliness and partings.  Then Chris gets his big opportunity – a film in Hollywood – but  will he be able to navigate the fleshy temptations of  movie making?  And has he grown up enough to accept responsibility for his own actions?  Carrie and Chris discover that ‘happy ever after’ is a concept that applies – if at all – only in fairy stores and never in real life nor even in the world of entertainment.
