Shattered Dreams is a story about young Julie Miller, who is dedicated to her patients in her OB-GYN practice. When she meets Lisa and John Higgins, her life will change drastically. It seems Lisa, who is very pregnant, begins to have complications because of rising blood pressure. Her husband, John, is the manager of a bank, and one day, the unthinkable occurs at the bank. John and Lisa will have to rethink their dreams. Julie's life becomes a whirlwind, and she has to deal with issues that follow. Although this story takes place in New York, she eventually moves to a small town in Arizona, telling no one of her medical background. One day, she is forced to abandon that idea. This story runs about fifty-eight thousand words. This is a story full of emotion. I think people will be able to relate to these characters and cheer them on.
