DANCE OF THE LIGHTS [Paperback]

Ann Stewart (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 5, 2003

Frank relishes fast success and early retirement-until the monotony turns to boredom and loneliness thrusts him into a desperate struggle to protect the people he cares about most.Beverly thinks moving south will mark a new beginning, but consuming grief steals control of her own destiny and threatens her very survival.All twelve-year-old Kevin wants is attention from a man he can respect, yet tragedy proves even that might never be enough.Together they must discover their own brand of unexpected love, a promise forged in adversity, enduring through loss, and sustaining that infinite potential to achieve more than any one person can alone.Through it all, they're teased by the mystery of those dancing lights, a million pinpoints in every imaginable color swirling into images of extraordinary lives, their brilliance whispered in the simplest truths as they discover new ways to teach us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story of strength!, March 27, 2004

I loved this book. One of my all time favorites. A reality check of sorts some would say. The way Franks kindness goes out to Kevin is truly the best kind of love in the universe. Teenage boys shouldnt have to struggle alone. Beverly is stronger than she realizes. Dealing with life issues is hard but these wonderful friends would be welcome in my house as they stick together and help each other through. The lights...I see them as strength and serinity. What a wonderful read. Even worth a second go round!

This book is a wonderful story about community efforts to make one child find a better life aside from the issues he faces with his incarcerated mother. Gives a unique sense of dealing with death of loved ones. Very similar connections as in Alice Sebolds "The Lovely Bones". Stephen really knows how to draw your interest right away. He draws you into the story. Makes you feel like you are one of the family in the book! Although its fantasy fiction, It could really happen! I really believe it could! I spend a week after reading this book living life in a different light. Waiting for the next Dance to show up! Excellent reading!
