- Summary:
- "The Dream is the first of three books charting the life of Amos Coomber, a young man who does all he can muster to fulfil his mother's dream of him being a future bringer of affluence and status to their community and a restorer of a battered mother's pride. The book describes the revelation of this dream and its impact on young Amos, who in his determination to please his mother, resorts to some desperate measures such as doctoring his school leaving exam result, a singular act which further dents the tenuous relationship between his parents, while temporarily straining the loving relationship between his mother and him; but, far from being a nightmare, Amos resolves matters with his mother as he affirms his loyalty to her and his commitment in realising his mother's dream for him as a bringer of fortunes and restorer of a mother's pride."--Page 4 of cover.
