How do you find your way forwards in a world that's holding you back?
'My name is Jeremiah Emmanuel. I'm twenty years old. I was born and raised in south London, in an area affected by crime, poverty and a lack of opportunities. This was the world that I knew growing up. It was a world where violence was accepted and prison was expected. A world in which your best friend could vanish overnight. But as I got older, I began to experience another world. This was a world where people listened to you, where opinions were heard, where doors were opened, where opportunities were everywhere.
Dreaming in a Nightmare is the story of those two worlds, and how it is possible to move from one to the other. It is both an urgent exploration of a growing national crisis, and a guide to overcoming the obstacles young people should not have to face. It is my story and the story of my generation. It's a book that I hope will change your world.'
