Dances With Destiny
About
This collection of eleven brief, sensitively written vignettes highlight the experiences and romantic relationships which allowed the author to gain perspective and mature. Using a ballet motif, she sketches events and memorable characters from her various pas de deux, prompting readers to ask if our actions determine our destiny, or if we all dance unknowingly to fate's command. Each scene can be read as a single story, or in a progression from Dance 1 to 11.
Praise for this book
Do you have ten minutes? That's all you need to read one of the vividly written vignettes in this charming book—a collection of stories that transport the reader to memorable episodes in the author's life. Whether contemplating if her brothers had been sisters, the not-so-perfect "perfect guy," or her present-day self back in high school—how often I've imagined returning for just a day, knowing all I know now—Markette has beautifully put to paper what most of us experience merely in the theater of the mind. Each story stands alone, and one does not need to read them in any order to appreciate the memories Markette shares.
hat keeps you hooked from the first page to the last.
I am enjoying reading these beautifully well written short vignettes describing meaningful moments in life. I highly recommend this book for busy readers who do not have time to read an entire long novel.
