In these fifteen stories, Jill Stephenson explores the many moods and shades of the current American landscape. From every strata, every social location, we find in these pages a unique array of voices, the everyday man and woman still struggling to maintain their individuality against the mass pressure to conform. Everyone is here: the blue-collar man, the office-executive woman, the rock star, the adolescent, college students, immigrants, the homeless and the moneyed establishment. A masterpiece of genre and subject, Fresh Dreams offers a vibrant vision of ourselves, a people still strong enough to endure, still capable of discovering their humanity against overwhelming odds.
