Description

A rodeo star’s career is abruptly derailed by injury, forcing him to face the question of who he is when the spotlight fades. In parallel, a young man released from juvenile detention struggles to outrun the consequences of his past and build a future that feels earned rather than given. As their lives intersect, the novel explores identity, belonging, and the meaning of family and tradition—showing how community can become both a refuge and a responsibility. With Richard Wagamese’s compassionate, lyrical storytelling, Dream Wheels traces the hard, hopeful work of reawakening, where healing requires honesty, change demands courage, and purpose can be rebuilt one choice at a time.
