The Dawn of a New Dream

By C V Rajan Sandeepika

Can the magnetism of a loving girl, twelve years younger, make a sea change in the life of a thirty-five-year-old bachelor?
Jonathan Reeves, A CPA by profession, has successfully climbed the social ladder of 1970s Chicago, owning a prestigious accounting firm and leading a lonely and introspective life. He has fulfilled every obligation to his family, yet he feels like a street dog at the end of a long race-breathless, hollow, and wondering if the madness of the rat race was ever worth it.

Everything changes on an overnight train to Chicago. Jonathan meets Samuel, an elderly man traveling with a small, frail grandchild. What starts as a simple act of help turns into a friendship that Jonathan never saw coming. Through long talks on park benches and over thermoses of coffee, Samuel begins to share the secrets of a life lived with love-and the deep tragedies that taught him those lessons.

Then Jonathan meets Grace, Samuel's second daughter. She is unlike any woman he has ever known: guileless, loving, caring, tender, and devoted to her father. She attracts him like a magnet and his rigid "bachelor's logic" begins to fail him. Now, he faces a choice: Will he retreat back to the safety of his quiet office? Or will he take a chance on a loving and meaningful family life with Grace?

The Dawn of a New Dream is a short-read novella of Christian literary fiction, written with warmth and restraint. It explores how God's purposes sometimes unfold quietly, unobtrusively, and unexpectedly.
