Chris Boyden loved Matt VanderVeen since junior high. But growing up gay in the Bible belt of west Michigan was difficult, and unlike Matt, he wasn't brave enough to face the prejudice head-on. Especially when his family told him over and over that he wouldn't be able to attend college without a scholarship.
Back in high school, he worried that coming out would get him kicked off the baseball team or make recruiters reluctant to scout him. Eventually, Matt broke up with him when he couldn't handle being Chris's secret boyfriend any longer, but college has given them a second chance -- if Chris has the courage to take it.
When a terrible injury puts Chris's baseball scholarship in jeopardy, it reminds Chris of all the reasons he stayed in the closet to begin with, and his ultra-masculine father's expectations and thoughtless homophobia aren't helping. Baseball has always been Chris's hope for the future, but now that dream could cost him Matt's love.

The Field of Someone Else Dreams Saugatuck Series Book 0 edition by Amelia Gormley Literature Fiction eBooks
Chris and Matt have been in a relationship a couple times now. First in high school, but Matt left Chris when he wouldn’t come out. Now in college they are trying to make a go of it again. But the same issues that drove a wedge between them before are not yet resolved. Can Chris come to terms with his sexuality and be honest with his conservative family about who he really is? Or will he allow his pride and appearances to cause the man he loves to leave him alone, again.Chris Boyden loves baseball, he loves everything about it. The rush, the feeling and the sound when he holds that bat in his hand and hits the ball. But his reasons for playing may not be all self serving. He feels the need to provide for his family, he doesn’t want to let them down. This is a huge factor in why he hasn’t told anyone he is gay either. But the time has come to make a decision. Either Chris comes out and lives his life in the open with Matt, or he stays in the closet and looses the one thing that matters most, Matt’s love.
Matt VanderVeen has loved Chris since they were teenagers. But he wants to love him out loud. He wants to hold hands in public, kiss him whenever he wants and take vacations together. Not lie about where they are going, who they are with or what they are doing. When Chris is injured and finally comes out to his family, it would seem that Matt is getting his wish. But the regret and the backlash may be more than his lover can handle.
This book pissed me off! But not for the reason you may think. My heart broke for Chris and the struggle he was going through. The conversation with his mother in the hospital literally floored me. I wanted to reach into my kindle and strangle her! Kudos to Gormley for making the emotions and words jump off the pages and really resonate with me. Matt was as understanding as could be expected, in his situation. And it’s not often that I read a story where the character is completely honest about his feelings. Matt told Chris straight up that he loved him and he would hold on, until he couldn’t hold on anymore.
I am completely in awe of Gormley’s writing style. There is something almost animalistic in her writing that is really engaging. I can’t wait to see what she gives us next. Be sure to grab a copy of this book, it’s free right now, and then follow up with the companion novel Saugatuck Summer.

The Field of Someone Else Dreams Saugatuck Series Book 0 edition by Amelia Gormley Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is an honest but painful look at one young man's journey from being in the closet to acknowledging to his family that he's gay. The impact on those around him was frank and unpredictable. Really good short story.
I liked this story very much and I would like to read more about Chris, Matt and what happened at dinner and what the future holds for them.
I liked this book and was looking forward to the next one until it came out yesterday and I saw that it's $7. Now I'll just make up in my head what I want to happen. Lol
Chris and Matt are good characters and the storyline familiar and although not completely resolved at the end of the book I think they'll definitely make it in the long run )
Short, sweet and sad. Loved the writing. I also appreciate that this didn't end with a cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.
A good story, about how life can be coming out. Chris had that trouble, and Matt stood by his side all the way. This story was well written, and the characters were great you will fall in love with them.
I kind of read this book out of order, but that’s actually okay. Even though the events The Field of Someone Else’s Dreams happen before the events in Saugatuck Summer, nothing is given away. This one is great if you want a taste of either Amelia C. Gormley’ or the Saugatuck series. Since I already had both, the main thing that I walked away from this short sweet read was hoping there was more.
That’s not saying that The Field of Someone Else’s Dreams was lacking. It wasn’t. It gave readers the perfect amount of story revolving around Matt and Chris. Their back story was given in mini flashbacks that worked well. The fact that Matt cared enough to give Chris another chance. Chris’ inner battle was understandable. To say I wasn’t a fan of his parents would be putting it mildly. These two boys may have grown up together, but they had totally different backgrounds.
If you’re looking for a quick read (only about 50 or so pages) this one is perfect. This isn’t even really a set-up for Saugatuck Summer, just a little side step into the lives of characters that went to school together. One can definitely be read without the other, but I’m glad that I picked this one up. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more books by this author.
