Gilligan’s Dreams: The Other Side of the Island New Release From Headline Books
Terrra Alta WV – A poignant, loving, revealing, inside account of the other side of “Gilligan’s Island” reveals the private lives of Bob and Dreama Denver. Headline Books, West Virginia publisher and 2020 Independent Publisher of the Year, releases the revised edition of Gilligan’s Dreams: The Other Side of the Island by award-winning author and actress, Dreama Denver.
Growing up in southern West Virginia, Dreama never imagined her fantasy of becoming an actress would ultimately become reality and land her in the arms of a man with one of the most recognizable faces on the planet. In the pages of this book, a love letter to the husband she adored, you’ll find love, laughter and tears. It is inspirational, possibly even life-changing, but it is never boring.
“If you think you know Maynard….if you think you know Gilligan… Gilligan’s Dreams isn’t just the life of one of America’s favorite comedy actors. This is truly a side of Bob Denver you never knew as Dreama lets you in on their incredible life together. It is a well-told, often humorous story, but have some have some Kleenex ready since Gilligan’s Dreams will also bring you to tears. I highly recommend it,” said Lloyd J. Schwartz, Sherwood Schwartz’s son and producer of “Rescue from Gilligan’s island,” “The Castaways on Gilligan’s Island,” “The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan’s Island.”
“Gilligan’s Dreams is a story of great emotions, of excruciating choices, of the terrors life can bring as well as the fundamental joys. In short, it is the very human story of a man, woman, and child who endured and ultimately triumphed by finding, giving, and fighting for that most tender and often elusive of human emotions: Love, “ writes Homer Hickam, author of Rocket Boys.
