Dance Away With Me

A funny, heart-wrenching story about loss, rural poverty, and reluctant love

Susan Elizabeth Phillips weaves magic on paper. Main protagonist Tess is a broken, grieving woman trying to put the pieces of her heart back together after a loss. Ian is an artist trying to survive his unpredictable, self-destructive muse he can't escape. The setting is rural Tennessee, the dialog is snappy and funny, the tragedy is heartbreaking, and the closure is satisfying.
