Separated by Dreams

About the Book

When two separate lives intersect over the random theft of a briefcase, what lay inside was powerful enough to save a life and change both of their worlds forever. “What you’re about to read is incredible, but true: my life is inextricably entwined with a man I choose to call Miguel, yet we’ve never met. We know of each other’s existence, but have yet to say or write one word to each other. This book is my way of reaching out to him. Letting him know that from day one I’ve know of his terrible pain, suffering & ultimate redemption.” -Elizabeth ann guevara El Camino is a feature length motion picture inspired by the novel SEPARATED BY DREAMS. In collaboration with the author, this independently produced drama, written for the screen & directed by Sean Daniel Bauer, has received numerous awards for its retro flair & distinct composition.

About the Author

Elizabeth Ann Guevara was born and raised in a small town in Southern California. After leaving home, she began working full time at a young age, when most kids were still in high school having fun and dating. Twenty-six years later, after a successful corporate career, she left it all behind to pursue her creative dreams, and spent a few years doing positive writing sessions. Something she didn’t know at that time was that leaving the workaday world would finally allow her to spend quality time with her mother, since she hadn’t been able to do that while raising her son and flying all over the country on business. From 2001 on, Liz began spending more time with her family. They didn’t do anything special, and it was never planned. Every chance they had, they were together, just enjoying the moment and sharing laughter. Over time, she eventually stopped doing the positive writing sessions because she didn’t want to lose any precious time with her mother. The years they shared were wonderful, until her mother passed away in April 2005. Her mother had long encouraged Liz to write her story and find Miguel… and in fact that was the last thing she said to her prior to passing. And so, in 2008, she wrote and published the first edition of Separated by Dreams. Liz served as Executive Producer on the film EL CAMINO which was inspired by her book. Today, she continues to write additional stories that she hopes one day will inspire people just as she did with Separated by Dreams.
