The Dancer and the Swan - Paperback
Description
by James L. Peters (Author)
Deborah Deneaux is dying.
But hospice volunteer Pauline Swanson is determined to uncover her story before it's too late.
Why did DeeDee leave her beloved Creole neighborhood of 1960's New Orleans? What adventures did she have in San Francisco, and what became of her brother after he joined the Black Panthers? How did she end up a single mother in Chicago and retire as a successful business owner?
And most of all-why is her relationship with her son, Raymond, so painfully broken?
As Pauline pieces together DeeDee's remarkable life, she's forced to confront her own. A recovering alcoholic haunted by childhood trauma, Pauline finds strength in DeeDee's resilience-strength she'll need when her own past resurfaces and she's forced to face what has haunted her dreams.
The Dancer and the Swan is at once a historical drama against the backdrop of urban renewal and social change, while also being an exploration of determination and faith against the traumas of life as experienced by two strong, unique women.
