Jennifer Hartmann's Dream On told the story of two kids who should have been experiencing carefree and fun lives but instead carried the weight of the world on their shoulders as they navigated their feelings for each other and the effects of tragedies in their lives.'

Talented musician Stevie St. James came from a poor but caring family and the one thing she never lacked was love. Yet underneath her happy exterior she carried the wounds of a tragedy that lived on in her heart and mind shaping many of her decisions and actions.

Celebrated child actor Lexington Hall was constantly on the verge of breaking. Wounded and sensitive he created self-imposed walls to protect and isolate himself. Dealing with his parents' selfish agendas their dysfunction dictated Lex's life.

Both Stevie and Lex had an instant connection quickly seeing past each other's defenses and cherishing the real people behind their facades. If any couple deserved a happily ever after it was Lex and Stevie. This pair clawed from the depths of despair to reach for hope only to be knocked down again and again. If there is a lesson to be learned from their story it was love is not easy and does not come with a formula where you pass the hard parts and win a heart. What readers will come away from this story is that even if you are knocked down a thousand times if your love is meant to be you will find a way to be together and that was Lex and Stevie's truth.

Abuse, hurt and pain filled the pages of Dream On but they ran parallel to hope, joy and comfort. The key being when the two merged producing a perfectly messy love that readers will hold close and empathize with and know that yes love did conquer all in this story. In pure Jennifer Hartmann style it was the little details in this story that took it from captivating to meaningful.

It takes great emotional fortitude and a strong heart to work through and present the experiences this author's characters live through. Jennifer Hartmann brings life's struggles to a personal place with her audience. Dream On will cause readers brutal tears and gentle smiles for a lingering story that will break and rebuild their faith in love.
