To a New Dawn tells the story of a boy on the verge of becoming a man, but in order to do so he must deal with turmoils around him. They are not physical, but the things we dread the worst: our inner demons. In order to defeat his demons he must come face to face with what ultimately is holding him back from attaining his dreams: himself. The boy, a nameless figure in New York City, must brave his way through the pain and sorrow of the mirages he's conjured up inside his head.
The story begins with a bold decision: to contact the father he never knew. With chance encounters upon others battling their own inner demons, the boy must continue onwards to find the answers he's been looking for his entire life. Who is he? What has he become? What will he become? All these questions and more plague his mind as he also deals with the harsh New York City winter.
From that first phone call to his father, to the very last sentence of the novella, To a New Dawn shows what can be known as none other than a journey through a personal hell and back, and self discovery along the way.
