The Dance

In the second novel in the Discovery series, Anna Dvorak faces a heartbreaking choice between love and practicality. As inaction by some becomes a catalyst for others, Jimmy and Maggie Carlson are caught up in the adults' secrets while navigating their own youthful challenges. And Mary Schroedler, much missed by her friends, inspires questions of whether events are truly controlled by fate.

The dance at the heart of The Dance celebrates love and the joy of living, but all around it, conflicts spawned by secrets, lies, and a desire for revenge threaten to shatter the thin veneer of civility and erupt into violence. As powerful hopes converge in the dance hall, the farm neighborhood will never be the same.
