My Grandmother Danced

At her own modest wedding reception, a na?ve young bride, innocently commits a social blunder that not only sets tongues to wagging but also sets off a series of events that follow her until her death 60 years later. Her faux pas? She dances a few too many times with her father-in-law! Although the events are fictitious, the story itself is psychologically true, true to the way we humans are. Like the groom, we wimp out when we should be strong. Like the groom's father, we tend to take advantage of others. Like Sylvia, the bride, we sometimes become critical and angry to avoid being sad. And, like her granddaughter, in our determination to make things better, we might make matters worse. The tale is told in brief, lyrical chapters, each dated, each signed by the speaker. Their voices betray them, reveal their identities well before their signatures.
