I Leave You My Dreams is s a poignant, moving tale of one family’s struggle to find a better life.
Cora knew she'd somehow one day escape the poverty and disenfranchisement of her smalltown South, and make the journey to California.
When Cora's husband becomes victim to his own indiscretions--along with an unscrupulous boss--Cora and the girls are left to deal with the transition of life-as-usual to the better life that must surely await them in LA.
Unforgettable and sometimes, 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 to us all a lasting glimpse of countless millions who have also made the westward pilgrimage.
