A tragedy three years ago destroyed Nye's rise to the top of the dancing world as an upcoming tango star, and in the process destroyed her reason for living, too. She survived the pain and built a new life resembling nothing like the one she left behind, determined never to hurt again.
Nye's emotional walls hold up perfectly until she meets a handsome lawyer and an elderly landowner. They seem harmless, but one awakens feelings she doesn't want and the other makes her face the God she can't forgive. Will these two men help Nye dance again?
This Dance is a powerful tale of loss, grief, and barriers. Barriers that only God’s love can possibly break through. When Nye Sanders and Cullen Chandler meet by accident, mutual attraction is immediate. But Nye cannot risk another loss. She’s lost too much already, and she blames God.
But Cullen can’t walk away from the beautiful woman with pain-filled eyes. And the matchmaking efforts of his sweet grandfather and Nye’s family don’t help.
Author Jerusha Agen doesn’t back away from tough topics, and I appreciate the depth of her writing. Pain and loss is part of life, and Ms. Agen tackles the common responses of doubt and anger head-on. This is a story of healing and renewal, and I highly recommend it. This Dance earns five stars.
