Broken Hearts And Mended Dreams

Broken Hearts And Mended Dreams is a journey of self - discovery and redemption. Angie Atkinson is a typical 17-year-old 'arts kid'. Like many young people she, however, sees herself as 'different' and in many ways she is. She has her own style of dress and loves acting and her theatre classes. She also has more than her share of problems. Her father was killed in an automobile accident when she was almost 10 and this had a devastating effect on her as well as her mother. Angie copes as well as she can until her mother remarries and Angie's family grows uncomfortably. Angie is in conflict with both her mother and stepfather who reject her dream of going to college and majoring in theatre. The saving grace for Angie has always been her relationship with her grandmother, her 'Nana'. Nana has always been her anchor in life. Almost all of Angie's problems have been talked out with 'Nana' at the old retro-50s diner the 'Pink Cadillac', over a strawberry milkshake. Angie always loved the 50s and through 'Nana's stories often wished she could go back to that period in time. Now, however, her 'Nana' lies seriously ill. In addition, a recent report card puts Angie's college dreams in jeopardy. Seeking escape Angie heads to the 'Pink Cadillac'. What she doesn't know, as she sadly sits in her favorite booth at the diner, is that she is about to travel in time back to 1956 where she will meet a girl from the 50s, 'Susan', an old friend of her 'Nana'. Susan guides Angie on a journey that will confront Angie with her past and hopefully allow her to face her future with courage and one last lesson from her 'Nana' Broken Hearts And Mended Dreams is a story about discovery and relationships. Is it possible for Angie to achieve her dreams? Can her broken heart ever be mended? Can she possibly regain the lost relationship with her mother? Can a journey to the 1950s provide the answers she is desperately looking for?
