Sons are born into stories that aren't always theirs to finish.
Ethan Carter has lived his whole life beneath the shadow of a legacy he never chose. Groomed to become the next star athlete like his father, David—himself once a symbol of hometown glory—Ethan's dreams whisper a different melody. While the world cheers for touchdowns, he hears the rhythm of piano keys. But trading sweat for symphony is not just a rebellion; it's a declaration of identity.

As Ethan struggles to break free from the suffocating pressure of family ambition and social conformity, he begins to uncover the quiet sacrifices and buried failures that shaped his father's path. David, a man molded by expectation and compromise, is forced to confront the haunting realization that he too has been a prisoner of dreams not his own.

"Sons of Dreams" is a powerful, emotionally layered novel about fathers and sons, and the fragile threads of destiny that bind them. It explores the courage it takes to choose freedom over tradition, individuality over conformity, and fulfillment over forced ambition. Through moments of bitter struggle, deep ambivalence, and hard-earned forgiveness, Ethan's journey becomes a mirror for every reader who has ever questioned the cost of living someone else's dream.

A story of self-discovery and the quiet rebellion of choosing your own path, this novel reminds us: sometimes the bravest thing a son can do is fail to become what his father expected.
