The dream of going to California tugged at Will throughout his childhood on a Missouri farm in the 1850s. After a move to Wisconsin with his family, he is eventually able to start west with his young wife Anna. The adventures of this growing family are shared by many who choose to answer the call of homestead lands waiting to be earned by their labor. Though it may sound like an invitation to paradise, it sometimes becomes discouraging. Bad weather, hostile neighbors, plagues and infidelity were not what one expected in the promised land, but sometimes have to be dealt with. Following these families as they deal with adversity forms a heart-tugging narrative and involves the reader in the lives of the women and men who lead the way.

Are you doing things your way and coming up short of your dreams? Give your dreams to God and let him do in you more than all you can ask or imagine (Ephesians. 3:20). God's plan for you is better than anything you could ever dream! Do dreams really come true? Each one of us may answer that question differently. But scripture says to ""seek first his Kingdom and righteousness"" (Matthew 6:33a). The problem: some of us don't seek God's face... we seek his hand, what he can do for us. The key: Are we willing to surrender our pain and hurt to get to a place where seeking God's face and is all we desire? When we get to that place, all our desires will line up with His dream for us and then we will go places and do things we never imagined. I dare you to dream: I challenge you to get to a place where all His dreams come true for you. ""No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"" (1 Corinthians 2:9).

A Dream Come True collects the complete stories of Juan Carlos Onetti, presenting his existentialist, complex, and ironic style over the course of his writing career. Onetti was praised by Latin America's greatest authors, and regarded as an inventor of a new form and school of writing. Juan Carlos Onetti's A Dream Come True depicts a sharp, coherent, literary voice, encompassing Onetti's early stages of writing and his later texts. They span from a few pages in "Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo" to short novellas, like the celebrated detective story "The Face of Disgrace" and "Death and the Girl," an existential masterpiece that explores the complexity of violence and murder in the mythical town of Santa María. His stories create a world of writing which is both universal and highly local, mediating between philosophical characters and the quotidian melodrama of Uruguayan villages.
