A review by bhunsberger
Last Dance on the Starlight Pier by Sarah Bird

4.0

This story provides a new perspective of life during the Great Depression which was quite interesting to me. Evie has a tough childhood, but turns her life around as she enrolls in nursing school and excels in her studies. More challenges come her way, and she ends up as a nurse for a dance marathon crew. As the marathon experience develops, she eventually finds herself dancing too! I enjoyed learning about the dance marathons that happened during the Depression, and have done a little more research on this topic.

I received an advanced copy of this book.
