Dancing with Jesus

by Mimi Whittaker

Joni Matthews wants to reclaim her life after a series of personal setbacks. In 1993 small town Northern California, she chooses country line dancing to get her groove back. What she doesn’t count on is an emergence of a strange and overpowering urge to help a man she barely knows despite the danger of his unstable mind. As she is drawn into his world, her own life becomes unrecognizable. Her vision of a quick, but helpful extension of compassion spirals into an uncharted region on the edge of destruction. Fueled by her Buddhist practice, she navigates the far reaches of her own sanity and the wonders beyond her ordinary life.
