If Your Dream Came True, Could You Handle It?

Orlando, FL, 2006—A Dream Come True (ISBN: 0976858908), the highly anticipated novel by Michael T. Owens has arrived. In a coming-of-age story Jive Magazine calls "reminiscent of movies like 8-mile", three friends leave suburban Orlando to pursue their dreams in glitzy Los Angeles.

Give a 20 year old basketball star lots of money, fame, and a plush Los Angeles condo and you’re asking for trouble. That’s exactly what's in store for Morris "Mookie" Lovett. Along with his girlfriend Pam Rivera, and best friend Fatimus Brown, he drops college, basketball, and everything else for a chance at making it as a rap star. With hot lyrical skills, good looks, and charisma, he feels he'll be famous in no time. It doesn’t take long for the fast life to send him spiraling towards self-destruction.

While he transforms in front of their eyes, Pam and Fatimus wonder if they made a wise decision leaving Orlando. They came to Los Angeles to support Mookie but also to chase dreams of their own. Pam wants to be a Hollywood fitness consultant and later own a celebrity salon and spa. Fatimus simply wants to spice up his life by shedding his "mama's boy" image. Both try to stay strong during these difficult times but worldly temptations are too great. Soon they find themselves wrapped in Mookie’s chaotic world of sex, music, wild parties, and drama. New meaning is given to the phrase ‘caught up’ as they all struggle to find their way in the world. If they don’t succeed, their lives may never be the same again.

Already receiving national coverage and rave reviews, A Dream Come True is a fast-paced read with life lessons for all.

A Dream Come True is available from Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, and wherever books are sold.
