"This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. Storytelling at its best. An unforgettable masterpiece that demonstrates how love can conquer all." Joan Ashley

"...I sit in total awe. Great, great ending. Thank you for the journey."


Without apology, Dreams of Eli is a tale of an impossible friendship, of courage in the face of insurmountable horror, and of love in its purest form.

From the author of the "soulful and hauntingly moving" novella, Malaika, comes another story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Lost and forgotten in a thankless and gruesome war, southern soldier Eli West wakes in a cave and discovers he is held captive by a soldier of the Union.

Shot, drugged, and tortured, he descends into the darkness and the beauty of his unconscious.
Uncovering a time when he was still in love...
A time before war...
A time before everything fell away.

Will he make it home to his beloved Cora?
Discover the ultimate sacrifice.

~ PRAISE for DREAMS OF ELI ~

"... it was so beautifully written, so poignant, that at the end, I had tears in my eyes."

"I feel an ache now that it's done. Perfection."

"For those few that tend to read the ending of a book first, just don't do it. The ending is surprising as well as a beautiful way to end such a great story."

"...but the ending will make readers rethink everything that occurred before in this elegantly conceived novel."

"I found it touching, but in an honest and fresh way, without dipping into the maudlin."

Too much back and forth. There was not enough story line. Also there was too much left unsaid. . Little clarity

Van Heerlings has written an extraordinary book about the ties of friendship that bind us despite the outer trappings of our color, and location doing their best to make us enemies. Without apologies, or taking sides, or even once sounding like a preacher, Heerlings gives us the story of two boys who become lifelong friends, and how that friendship is tested by an unforgiving time and place.

Eli is a simple white boy from the south who loves his black friend Ezra, the adopted son of a local doctor. Being property, no one bats an eye when Ezra is beaten by his master, until one day Ezra extracts his revenge by reciprocating the punishment he'd been dealt out all of his life.

Part of the trio of friends is a beautiful girl who Eli immediately falls in love with and continues to love his entire life. Eli is the star of this novel, which alternates between times in his life by chapter headings beginning when he was 26 years old, then moving back and forth throughout his life in his dreams. I didn't find this difficult to follow, and it's a great plot device because you can see how Eli has evolved through living in such tough times. Seeing Eli as a boy again after knowing what he'd gone through, brought even more emotion to the story for me as I wanted to weep for his lost innocence.

But it was Ezra that was the hero of the story for me. I found his ability to rise above his circumstances inspiring. He never gave up, and he never grew bitter over his fate, but kept trying to do the right thing throughout the story. Like Martin Luther King in a past life, Ezra never lowered himself to his tormentor's level, but instead showed them who to be a good man. Warped, seemingly righteous beliefs, were stronger chains than any Ezra ever wore, and Ezra managed to free himself, something his tormentors never managed to do.

The characters of this book are the kind who display such honesty and courage, that they become unforgettable. This is the kind of book that should be on school's reading lists to show students what living in the south was really like at one dark time in our history.

There should be "SIX STARS" available for beautifully written books such as this. The author captures that rare ability to evoke emotions in a person. The characters are so well developed that you feel for them, sympathize with them and cry for them. Dreams of Eli takes you on an emotional journey with his childhood friend Ezra. The story takes you back and forth through time to Eli's childhood and then to adult years. This is a story that will have you reflecting on your own life and what really is most important. Eli's journey will make you laugh and make you cry. The friendship between himself and Ezra is such a beautiful one a rare and true friendship. This is a story of love and loss and one I urge you to read. This is an original beautiful story that I will re-read again...

This was the first book I read on my Kindle app. The story is well written and kept my interest. I loved the charming characters and historical background of the story. If you have the soul of a romantic, it does not disappoint. I would have given it five stars except for the ending which I found very hard to understand and accept. I won't give it away by being specific, but I don't know why the author would choose such an unsatisfying end to the story.

Van Heering. Well written
Dreams Of Eli
Eli West is a southern soldier , he weakens up in a cave held captive by a union soldier. This book is so well written that you actually feel as though you are there at the time of the civil unrest in America .
This story takes you back and forth from present times(1863) and when he was growing up. It covers his life, loves and disability s in which he gets part of his leg removed. This book will take you on a roller coaster ride with your emotions changing many times.
5 stars. 30 August 2013.
