Have you ever had a dream?

A Journey of Faith, Hope, and Perseverance

A Word From The Author

Hello, I’m Ted Lien, the author of “Valentina’s Dream.” As a retired construction worker now living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, I cherish my memories of growing up on a cattle ranch where I spent countless hours riding horses. These early experiences have inspired my love for stories about horses, and I believe that children, too, can find magic and adventure in these tales.

At 68 years old, I enjoy a variety of hobbies, including assembling model trains, caring for my goldfish, reading, and solving crossword puzzles. I have two grown children and two wonderful grandchildren who bring immense joy to my life. My curiosity and eagerness to learn new things continuously fuel my imagination and storytelling.

“Valentina’s Dream” is a labor of love, crafted to inspire young readers to dream big, appreciate nature, and cherish the special bond between humans and animals. I hope you and your children enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Inspired, I believe, by my heavenly father, this story came to me in my sleep. Valentina had a dream. She was born with a severe physical handicap. There was no way she could accomplish that dream, or could she? Read how Valentina goes through surgery and months of treatment, determined to reach her dream. Valentina must overcome obstacles on her journey. Wait, the ending is not exactly what you might expect. Kids of any age are sure to enjoy this book.
