Dance Lessons

Dance Lessons tells two inescapably intertwined stories. In the first, Catherine Wallace recounts her ordinary, often hilarious struggles to stay sane as she learns how to balance the demands of her career with the needs of her children. In the second, she adeptly deconstructs all of her own encounters with a witty and persistent God who thinks the real problem here is not career-vs-kids but call. Vocation. The stand-off starts to crumble one night when a rainbow declares truce during dinner, and she begins to discover that not even deconstruction can separate us from the love of God. Here indeed is a God whose reality, matters, even for the crazy-making conflicts of modern family life.
