After her father died, computer programmer Vanessa Bradley moved back to Columbus, Georgia from Atlanta to be with her poet mother. Though she had made a few friends in Atlanta, Vanessa has always been a loner and though she is in her thirties, she never had a serious relationship with anyone. This includes her parents who raised and nurtured her, but truly were too deeply wrapped up with one another.

To Vanessa’s shock, Xavier Johnson wins a volunteer award for his participation in women’s shelters and similar issues. Males just do not do that kind of thing at least in Vanessa’s mind. Still when Xavier and Vanessa meet, they click.

Her mother Jackie decides that an Australian Aborigine art show will allow her to communicate with her dead spouse. Xavier is also involved in the exhibit. When Jackie vanishes, a frantic Vanessa turns to Xavier for help in finding her missing mother. Together they seeking the lost poetess while traveling the world in pursuit, but find a deep love at the same time.

FOLLOW’ A DREAM is an exciting ethnic romance that takes readers on quite a journey with the ultimate destination being that of a loving relationship. The story line is fast paced and quite enjoyable, but requires a bit of acceptance. The characters make the tale spin as the lead protagonists are one heck of a duo and the support cast helps the reader understand the emotions and motives of Vanessa and the X-Man. Readers will delight in Eboni Snoe’s latest romantic escapade.
