Publisher's Note
In this bittersweet and beautifully written memoir, author Carolyn See embarks on nothing less than a reevaluation of the American Dream. Although it features a clan in which dysfunction was something of a family tradition, Dreaming is no victim's story. With a wry humor and not a trace of self-pity. See writes of fights and breakups and hard times, but also of celebration and optimism in the face of adversity. 53 photos.
Industry reviews
"[This book] is a fine example of the therapeutic power of the writing process itself, which at its best can function as a kind of exploration and exorcism that ultimately leads to healing." Women's Review of Books - Lisa Alther (07/19/1995) "...we fictionalize our own lives even as we're living them. We edit out the stuff that doesn't seem right to us and put in the stuff that seems more appropriate." San Francisco Book Review - Carolyn See "It gives you a thick description of the worst sort of family problems: alcoholism, physical abuse, abandonment, suicide. But at the same time there are incredible moments of heroism and even a happy ending, driven by improbably levels of love and attachment--real-life family values." Lingua Franca - Judith Stacey (10/19/1997)
