A Wonderful Multi-Layered Novel! The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers A beautiful homea handsome matean adorable childthese things should equal happily ever after, right? In Darlene Johnson's novel, "Dream in Color" the main character - Victoria Chandler - realizes that all is not golden in her picture-perfect life, even if her mot. A Great Surprise From A 1st Time Author L. Jackson I've read so many books and was quite surprised that a 1st time author was able to produce such a great read. The title "Dream in Color" peaked my interest and made me wonder if, in fact, I dream in color. I can't answer that question. The book begins with an inc. Great Xcape! M. Carter I recently purchased Dream In Color and read it in one sitting and quite frankly I was very impressed with this new author's story-telling ability. She tackled several difficult situations: a loveless marriage, unaffectionate sex with her husband, lack of self-es
But she’s not. She should be happy with her life. But Victoria stays married for the sake of her daughter. But can these fantasies help fix her real life?At age twenty-five, Victoria Chandler has a husband with a good job, a five-year-old daughter, Reese, and a house in the suburbs. Inspired by the freedom that she exhibits in her fantasies, Victoria develops a plan to escape her marriage and create the reality that she’s always wanted.From the Trade Paperback edition.. Victoria’s marriage is on the rocks, and she copes by daydreaming about fantasy men. She suspects that her husband, Gerald, is having an affair, and she finds her loveless marriage a big disappointment. And to get by, she starts daydreaming about two fantasy men: James, a very handsome man she meets at a club, and Michael, a rock star.As she ponders her attraction to these men, Victoria slowly realizes that her marriage to Gerald is doomed—they’re just not meant to be together

Victoria and Gerald Jordan married because she was pregnant; now their daughter is five years old, the marriage is in a shambles and Victoria suspects he's having an affair. She copes by inventing two dream lovers: James, a 17-year-old high school student, and Michael, a white rock star. From Publishers Weekly A woman in a loveless marriage retreats into an elaborate fantasy world in Darlene Johnson's previously self-published Dream in Color.
