What does a dancer do when an injury forces her off the stage forever? The choice Joanna Travers makes leads her dangerously close to the edge.
On Cape Cod, she finds an old friend being blackmailed, which is hard to believe, given Nora's poise and unshakeable faith. Joanna gets caught up in unraveling Nora's secretive past while struggling to find meaning in life without dance.
Working with friends to put together a new musical, they ignore the blackmailer's demands until violence strikes among them, revealing a traitor in their midst. Joanna begins to wonder if Nora's faith will be enough to pull them through.
I was surprised by this book. First, because it was so much better than I expected. Second, because its cover just did not draw me and so I missed out on a nicely written story of awakening to true values in life.
This is another story of someone who was obsessed with work and lifestyle, when it suddenly came to an end with a crashing accident. (Do you ever find common themes in books you are reading?)
In this story, Joanna must find a new identity - and new friends. She ends up doing both by recuperating on Cape Cod and getting outside of the hustle and bustle of life in NYC.
