Every Story Begins With A Dream

When gifted musical theatre performer Sophie Carter (My new Original Character) lands her first leading role on London's West End opposite Tom Felton in a new production of *Ghost the Musical*, it is the opportunity she has dreamed of since childhood. Backed by years of dance, singing and determination-and the unwavering love of her parents-Sophie finally steps into the spotlight she has spent a lifetime chasing.
As opening night draws near, Sophie finds herself welcomed into an extraordinary circle of friends, including Alan Rickman, Jason Isaacs and Daniel Radcliffe. Together, they become far more than fellow performers-they become the family she never expected to find.
But behind the standing ovations and glowing reviews lies a heartbreaking reality. While Sophie's star is rising, her beloved mother is losing her battle with illness. Torn between the career she has worked so hard to build and the family she cannot bear to leave, Sophie faces an impossible choice that will change her life forever.
In one unforgettable performance, she discovers that the greatest acts of courage are often performed behind the curtain, where the audience cannot see.
As grief slowly gives way to hope, unexpected opportunities lead Sophie from the West End to the world of film, where new dreams, new love and a new future await. Yet through every audition, every curtain call and every triumph, she carries with her the words that shaped her life:
"Go and tell your story."
A deeply moving novel about love, family, friendship, loss and the healing power of the arts, **Every Story Begins with a Dream** is a heartfelt celebration of the people who believe in us before anyone else does-and the dreams that continue to guide us long after they are gone.
