The Lives We Were Meant to Live

There is always a price to pay for keeping secrets.

Most of us understand this, inclined as we are to privacy regarding our personal passions. But holding back invites unexpected consequences. It might cause us to make decisions that are not to our benefit, especially when the options are alluring and persuasive.

And so it is with two secret dreamers, Ellie and Gavin, and the characters who fill their lives. All these confront a series of life-altering choices that determine their destinies. One can choose to reveal his private dreams, an act that could unleash astonishing powers. Or one can refuse to share, resulting in frustration or despair. The lives of the Taylor family, as with most of us, are lived between these two notions.
