DREAMer by Emily Gallo

5.0

"DREAMer" by Emily Gallo is a multifaceted read that highlights relevant social issues while celebrating benevolence. From page one, Emily reals you with the beautiful landscapes of Southern and Central California. Lawrence Ellison and Kate McCoy are a biracial couple who are adventurous and full of empathy, purpose, and determination. Emily realistically presents multiple perspectives of pertinent incidents in today's society. Lawrence and Kate's relationship is so realistic, and it is refreshing to see how they navigate their fears, frustrations and handle conflict. As I turned the pages, I found myself becoming more educated on the plight of undocumented immigrants in the United States. There were certain areas in the book where the tears flowed because of the insurmountable challenges for Marisol's quest to find her family. In addition to this, the waterfall continues upon reading Emily's kind words, the sheer beauty when human beings listen to their heart and intuition and are empathetic when trying to listen and understand another person's story. The ending was satisfactory, and I know this book has left a deep indent in my heart. A 5 star read! I cannot wait to read more of Emily's work.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout, and this honest review is left voluntarily.
