sansan325 's review for:
Pretending to Dance
by Diane Chamberlain
I took my time reading this because the story was very moving. It moved back and forth through the eyes of Molly as a married woman hoping to become an adoptive mother and as a 14 year old coming of age. The setting was San Diego (adult life) and the ancestral family plot of land in rural North Carolina where several family members lived (teen life).
Sometimes pre-teen Molly's story was a little YA-ish but overall it was well written. Molly's father had MS, a major part of the story that was seamlessly written. I gained a new perspective to the illness. Molly was a daddy's girl; the love between them was undeniable. The family secrets from Molly's past weighted heavily on adult Molly's life. There were several "Wait . . . what??!!!" revelations.
It's been quite awhile since I read a Diane Chamberlain book and now I'm more than ready to read another.
