Old Men’s Dreams
when revenge must turn to forgiveness
Old Men’s Dreams is my first published novel and it’s now available from Amazon. The blurb reads as follows:
‘Your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions…’ (Joel 2:28) For ‘old men’ in this tale, read ‘old woman.’ Angel Henderson has been released from prison and treatment centre, her anger issues lengthening her original sentence by decades. Her yearning for revenge is undiminished. She has forgotten nothing, particularly the friends who did nothing to prevent the death of her sister, Poppy, in 1967. In those so-called halcyon days of the swinging 1960s, all was not entirely sweetness, light and peace. Free love came with a price. Younger half-brother Robert, after a near-death experience, has since become a Christian and while he’s sworn to help Angel’s revenge he knows they must forgive, in order to be forgiven themselves. This is a conflict of consciences, set then and today. Dark, gruesome, comedy meets thriller – this is David Porter’s first published novel. From his experience as a teenager in the 60s through his young people’s theatre days, teaching drama, the world of politics and being an MP, he draws on experiences, memories and a vivid imagination to create a world that should unsettle you for a long time.
It is published under the imprint Walk In My Shoes Publications.
