American Dreamer Shawn Wesley Ballenger

Sometimes a dream starts out as a nightmare. Brandon Daniels' life is a mess. He was once a happily married, middle-aged man. The house, the beauty queen wife, a job that pays well, a son, a dog-everything of which he had ever dreamed. Brandon had done everything that had been expected of him. From the outside looking in, Brandon Daniels was living what most people would consider the American Dream. But Brandon Daniels has been living a lie. And his secret has brought him to the brink of destruction. Suddenly, he finds himself at a crossroads. He is divorced, he hates his job, his teenage son hates him-his American Dream is quickly turning into a nightmare. Just when it seems that things can't get any worse, and he finds himself at the end of his rope (almost literally), his best friend offers him an alternative. What would you choose if you could do it all over again?American Dreamer is not just a coming-of-age story...it's a (re)coming-of-age tale about hope, loss, redemption, starting over...and finding out how far you'd go for the people you love most.
