"The Morphine Dream" Presentation & Book Signing



OSTERVILLE VILLAGE LIBRARY PRESENTS: "THE MORPHINE DREAM”
Presentation and Book Signing with Donald L. Brown, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 2014

Using facets of his own life to prove to others that life can always be "rebooted”, Donald L. Brown’s personal story is one of true triumph over tragedy. With such pertinence to modern society, his latest book is set to resonate with readers from coast to coast.

While he has achieved international acclaim in both law and academia, Donald L. Brown’s resume success did not start until age thirty-six. With his early life blighted by his father’s suicide, dropping out of Junior High School and suffering life-changing injuries in an industrial accident that ended his professional baseball dreams, Brown was convinced he had nothing useful to offer the world. But Brown had a dream while on a post-surgery morphine drip. He dreamed himself graduating from Harvard Law School and walking across America. Brown took the dream to heart, and graduated from Harvard Law School (where he a classmate of Barack Obama) and then went on to walk across America. 

Having risen from the ashes with an inspirational story to tell, Brown’s new memoir is set to bring hope and solace to thousands looking to renew their own lives. The Morphine Dream is Brown’s intriguing tale of his long walk– both physical and metaphorical– to achieving his goals. But this is not just the conventional story of a man who defeated insurmountable odds. Digging deep inside, he achieved new dimensions he could never have imagined.
Brown will share his story at the Osterville Village Library on Saturday, March 15 at 10 AM. This event is free and open to the public.
