Untamable. Damaged. Angry. Once full of promise and life, now lost in the shadows of resentment and detachment, this is Dream of Night's story—and it is also Shiloh’s. One is a thoroughbred racehorse, the other an eleven-year-old foster child. Starved to the bone, Dream of Night is still a very powerful animal, kicking, bucking, screaming to show his strength. Shiloh has been starved in other ways—starved of affection, starved of stability and she lashes out too…with sarcasm. This injured and abused racehorse has a lot in common with punky Shiloh and by chance they both find themselves under the care of Jessalyn DiLima—a last stop for each before the state takes more drastic measures—sending the girl to a “residential facility” and the horse to a vet...for euthanizing. Jess is giving them a second chance, a last chance—but she fosters animals and children like this for a reason—she’s a little broken, too. And she knows what it’s like to have lost nearly everything she loves. As the horse warms up to the girl and the girl lets her guard down for the horse, the three of them become an unlikely family. They recognize their similarities in order to heal their pasts, but not before one last tragedy threatens to take it all away.

What is commitment? Is it something youre born with, or is it something you develop? What does commitment look like, and is it easily recognizable? How can some have it and others not, and is commitment necessary for success? For author and coach Aaron Womack Jr., answering these questions would require deep reflection on his life and on what commitment means to others. Birthing a Dream shares Aarons discoveries after he examines his experiences to learn what it took for him to be committed to achieve his goals and dreams. What he discovered was that, like childbirth, our dreams and aspirations take time to develop and grow before they are ready to come into the world. And as a school principal, basketball coach, and pastor, Aaron looks at examples in the classroom, on the court, and in church to show us the many different ways we can be committed to our dreams. Being successful, achieving your goals, and making your dreams come true takes commitment, but its not the only thingand commitment is about so much more. By putting commitment into perspective, Birthing a Dream can help it come alive to you as you recognize what it takes to bring your dreams into reality.
