Books with title Big Dreams

Olive Schreiner was a nineteenth century giant. In her lifetime she was an author, bringing her native South Africa with all its wonders and flaws to the world. In addition she was a passionate campaigner against needless war, a radical freethinker and non-conformist.Dreams is her second work, after her popular work The Story of an African Farm, and comprises a collection of shorter tales. These stories were inspired by her more abstract and emotional feelings, as opposed to a practical recounting of events. The stories included in Dreams are wonderful parables which have been seized by readers and give us all an opportunity to think and feel in a new way, as well as a privileged window into the soul of the author. The stories centre around deeply personal and moving topics such as love, joy, loss and the passage of time and the personifications of these elements will bring tears to the eye. Schreiner's appeal has never been lost on the members of the women's movement and as part of a distinguished company along with the Bronte Sisters and Mary Wollstonecraft, she made her contribution to the fight for equality. In picking up this book, you are taking the same action that women who dream have made many times before. Not only that, but the same action as suffragist prisoners and rebels, meditating on it through cold cell block nights.For dreamers, rebels, women or those persons who are lucky enough to be all three, this work is indispensable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Dreams. Most girls spend their entire lives hoping their dreams will, someday, come true. Bri (Bee) Masters isn't one of them. Every dream she’d ever had has come true…..unless she found a way to stop it. There are only two people in her life that know about her dreams: her mom and her best friend, Jarred (Jay) Barber. Whether the dreams are a blessing or a curse, divine intervention or clairvoyant dreams rooted in Louisiana magic, Bri doesn't care. Her goal in life is to make it through her senior year without drawing attention to herself. She finds herself dateless to the prom after her boyfriend and shortstop on the high school baseball team, Jason Frost, dumped her for another girl. She turns to the one person she had trusted since kindergarten: Jay. He’s furious at Jason for hurting Bee. Not only is she his best friend, she’s been the girl of his dreams for as long as he could remember. Since Jay’s the catcher for the baseball team, he makes it his mission to take care of Jason. And then the dream began.Jay tried desperately to wake Bee out of the fitful dream. She finally came to, dazed and confused. She quickly realized this was the worst dream she’d ever had. Jason was going to be kidnapped. Jay’s torn between hating Jason and knowing he has to help Bee save him. Between typical high school drama, prom, and baseball play-offs, they had enough on their plates. Now they have another problem to face: Dreams.
