Based on a true-life story, "Dancing with the Lord" is an uplifting tale peppered with humor and seasoned with Polish-American ethnicity. In it, Judie Poremba takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride through the '50s and '60s and offers a peek at the Chicago polka scene along the way. Meet unpredictable, bar-hopping Fred, a man who'd rather dance than anything. Just as he meets the girl of his dreams, he is confronted with a personal message from God. Follow him as he struggles to get to the bottom of God’s strange message and embarks on an improbable journey toward a most unlikely goal.
