What if the greatest distance you needed to cross was the one between the person you are and the person you long to become?
In I DREAM OF ME, Michel N. Christophe delivers a soul-stirring, unflinchingly honest portrait of a man unraveling the tangled threads of identity, family, and self-worth. Haunted by a vivid dream of wealth that brings only emptiness, Samuel-son, brother, husband, and doctor-finds himself estranged from his life, cut off from the rituals, relationships, and desires that once defined him.
Through a mosaic of memories, encounters, and revelations-ranging from the quiet tenderness of his wife, Elise, to the bruising honesty of his mother, from the sunlit serenity of Caribbean shores to the isolating chill of Montreal-Samuel embarks on a deeply personal quest. He confronts the ghosts of his upbringing, the limits of duty, the wounds of old betrayals, and the quiet heroism of choosing faith over fear.
With wit, vulnerability, and a rare emotional clarity, Christophe explores the heart of modern manhood: the longing for belonging, the courage to want, and the power of forgiveness. I DREAM OF ME is the story of a family built on contradictions, of love found in the ruins of disappointment, and of one man's determination to claim his life-one choice, one truth, one dream at a time.
For those who live by faith as much as by hope, and for anyone who's ever wondered if it's possible to come home to yourself.
"I Dream of Me" is a deeply introspective journey through the tangled web of identity, family, and self-realization. Spanning continents and generations, the novel follows Samuel-a Caribbean-born physician navigating a life split between the sun-soaked islands of his youth and the cold, isolating landscapes of Canada. Haunted by the echoes of a troubled family legacy, Samuel struggles to reconcile his inherited fears and disappointments with his longing for love, belonging, and personal purpose.
