This is one woman's poignant and moving tale of the bitter and the sweet struggles to find a better life, not only for her and her family, but also for the sake of her very own sanity. CORA dreamed that one day she would escape the poverty and disenfranchisement of the smalltown South, and make the journey to California.

When Cora's husband becomes a victim of his own indiscretions--along with issues of an unscrupulous boss--Cora and the girls are left to deal with the transition of life-
as-usual to seek a better life that must surely await them in Los Angeles.  Often both unforgettable and all-too-familiar characters, weave in and out of the lives of this family, sometimes for the better, and sometimes not.

I Leave You My Dreams strikes a very distinct note of universal recognition in both theme and setting as we revisit familiar locations throughout the Destination City -- from Central Avenue to the Beaches, I Leave You My Dreams affords an incredible glimpse of the 1940s migration shared by countless millions making the westward pilgrimage .
