About the Book
Let's face it, being a teenager is hard.
High school is depressing, your mother's overbearing, the only friend you have in your new school doesn't have any time for you, and your therapist won’t get off your back.
Oh, and yeah, you might have narcolepsy.
Great start to your sophomore year, right?
Fifteen-year-old Daniel wants to leave the past alone, but his inner demons keep him up at night. When they’re not keeping him up, though, he is dead asleep in all his classes and dreaming. Wild dreams. Fantastic even! Are they nonsense? Are they memories? He’ll have to stop running from them to find out.
Truth Is, You’re Still Dreaming is a novel for young adults about that time in one’s life where being a grown up seems both imminent and a lifetime away.
About the Author
Currently in a master’s program, Matthew Williams is a clinical mental health counseling student from New Jersey. A recent Rider University graduate, he is an advocate for those with differences – a topic that, because of the lack of knowledge and empathy for those who have them, had a great impact on the writing of this piece. A lot of what goes on in the narrative of the novel comes from his work with young adults through field work in the therapeutic community.
