MARTIN, Ga., Dec. 1, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ever since Bobby's father left, his life was filled with unhappiness. Many times he felt like running away. Whenever he felt this way, he would seek refuge at The Dream Hill and daydream for hours. Though he feels safe there, there is also something strange about the hill. Sometimes he thought he heard far away voices...eerie voices. Unravel its mystery in an exciting science fiction tale by John W. (Bill) Williams.
Bobby Roberts is fed up with everything -- the unending bullying, the rejection and ridicule imposed on him by his peers. Adding more to his frustration is his depressing lifestyle living in a crowded, dirty, run-down and rat-infested house. The only bright spot in his life is the hill that serves as his haven and a relaxing place to daydream. Although he never sees anyone there when he visits, he strongly feels that someone or something is watching him. He also feels there is more than daydreaming that is going on in his mind. The truth is about to manifest to him -- a truth that will challenge Bobby beyond his wildest imagination. Join Bobby on an exhilarating adventure and solve the mystery behind The Dream Hill!
