Brian's Dream

Brian O'Malley thought he had finally shaken off the pains of his youth - a youth stolen by his alcoholic father. He had found the island of his own family dreams with Parminder, a Punjabi Sikh woman who also faced her own childhood challenges in Northern India. Together in Boston, they face the harsh reality of raising a mixed family in a changing America complete with racism, bigotry, and terrorism. To make matters worse, Brian faces the ultimate challenge of not allowing alcoholism and depression to condemn him and his children to the same life he endured.



This is a story of the realities of life's challenges and finding happiness despite the odds and the world around you. Brian's Stolen Dream is the first of three books that tell the multi-generational story of the O'Malley family. The books speak of challenges and hardships and the triumph of the human heart. Racial integration is a core theme throughout as is spiritualism and Indian mysticism.



Book two is called Sahara's Miracle and book three is Parminder's Legacy.
