Truth, Dreams and The Everythings-In-Between

By Ovelinda Garcia

A Novelette by Ove Garcia-Petrushevich

What if your dream leads you to love, and your love leads you to the truth?

Set in a reimagined post-war 1919 America, Truth, Dreams, and the Everythings In-Between is a historical coming of age love story about identity, sacrifice, and the unexpected places we find belonging.

Seventeen-year-old Kaiveyah, a spirited Puerto Rican immigrant, arrives in New York City with nothing but ambition and her late mother's mirror. She dreams of becoming a fashion designer but is soon swept into the realities of Ellis Island, factory life, and the quiet politics of survival.

Then she meets David, a charming but haunted Italian pianist with revolutionary ideals and a past as fragile as his music. As they navigate picket lines, broken promises, and the distant pull of home, their bond deepens into a love that is both tender and transformative.

Loosely inspired by true events, this multicultural historical fiction unfolds in a city on the edge of change. With lyrical prose and cinematic storytelling, it explores the immigrant experience, cultural legacy, and the emotional journey of growing up in a world that demands too much too soon.

Perfect for readers of The Nightingale, The Book Thief, and The Time Traveler's Wife, this powerful women's historical fiction novel is not just a story. It is a feeling.

"A luminous love story wrapped in history, heartbreak, and hope."
