The Dream Maker

The Dream Maker is the extraordinary early biography of Patrick Atkinson — a young North Dakota man who stepped unarmed into war zones, red-light districts, drug corridors, and the darkest corners of the world to protect children and women no one else would help. Written and narrated by award-winning journalist Monica Hannan, this internationally selling powerful and unforgettable true story reveals the hidden lives of the children and mothers Atkinson rescued, the peril he faced, and the unexpected moments of grace that shaped them all.

A gripping journey of courage, compassion, and unwavering faith, The Dream Maker shows how one determined life can change hundreds of thousands of others — and how hope can rise even in the world’s most forgotten places.
