"Green Dream" tells the riveting story of Eddy Mendez, a young farmer whose unwavering love for the forests and fierce determination to combat deforestation lead him into a life fraught with danger and sacrifice. Growing up near the Amazon jungle, Eddy's journey from a humble, brave dreamer to an impassioned activist is inspiring and heart-wrenching. Eddy's life takes a mystical turn when he meets Evaristo, an enigmatic Indian who claims to communicate with trees. Despite skepticism from others, Eddy believes him and persuades Evaristo to teach him his mystical ways. Eddy's activism, however, earns him powerful enemies, including a wealthy boy from his hometown who subjects him to discrimination and blackmail.Mary Villegas, Eddy's forbidden love, plays a pivotal role in his story. She hails from an affluent family that disapproves of her affection for Eddy, preferring her to marry Eddy's relentless enemy. Their love, set against Colombia's Amazon region backdrop, weaves a tale of romance and conflict. As Eddy grows, he notices the rampant deforestation threatening his homeland. His well-informed fight against the indiscriminate felling of trees and global warming eventually leads to his imprisonment. Undeterred, Eddy declares to his group, "I have received serious death threats. It is worth dying to preserve the forests and the oxygen we breathe, but I'm still alive. The death of any of us will not impede our fight to stop the deforestation in our Amazon Rainforest.""Green Dream" speaks with a powerful cultural voice, brimming with emotions, betrayals, blackmail, corruption, intrigue, and a profound love for the forest. This novel addresses critical environmental issues such as deforestation, pollution, and global warming, making it a timely and urgent read.
