Overview

Dance with Me resonates with the magic and mystery of human relationships...and the real beauty of the human heart.

Jane Porter has always been a free spirit, as wild and beautiful as the vast acres of apple orchards in rural Twin Rivers, Rhode Island -- the town forever etched upon her heart. Now, fourteen years after she left it behind, Jane is unexpectedly drawn home to her mother and only sister. Dylan Chadwick has come back too, shedding the steely exterior he wore as a federal agent in order to follow in the footsteps of his apple-farming father and escape the memories of the life he once lived.

Amid this landscape of loss and renewal, of families struggling to find their way back together with an innocent young girl as their lodestone, a haunting story about small-town secrets unfolds. Dance with Me explores emotional connections at their very core, with acute insights into the ties between mothers and daughters, sisters and lovers that will resonate for a long time to come.

Yuck. Reads like it was written by a 15 year old. SO sappy that it provides a good laugh.

As with all of Luanne Rice's works this one draws you in and holds you. She is wonderful at writting books that goes to your heart and makes you feel that no matter what,all can be dealt with and survived. She proves that there are happy endings.

Loved It!

Angela - Geez are you 15 - this book was fragmented, full of cliche, predictable, trite - get me a thesaurus and I'll go on........I have got to quite renting this genre - The only reason it gets one star (and not zero) is because that's the lowest rating available.

Beautiful story, Cloe won my heart. The book catalogs mistakes that we make as we grow older and the power of forgivness through love and family committment.
