When ninety-year-old Shirlene Foster dies, she is shocked to wake up in another woman’s body.
Even more astonishing, she’s in a hospital delivery room, about to give birth. Fearing no one will believe her,
she attempts to hide her true identity, but acting like a twenty-year-old proves impossible, and she realizes
she must tell someone.
Cameron Michaels vowed to raise his niece after his brother abandoned his pregnant girlfriend, Rain.
But after Rain has the baby, she changes… drastically. When Shirlene confesses she is inhabiting Rain’s
body, Cameron hesitates to believe such a wild story, but it does explain Rain’s complete transition.
While adjusting to her new life and relishing her second chance at motherhood, Shirlene struggles to keep
her growing attraction to Cameron in check. But Shirlene soon discovers that her new body may not
belong to her for long.
MY REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Soul Dancing
By Gail Priest waltzes into your mind, tap-dances through your emotions, and
thrills the reader like a good Tango.
This book
delivers at every level: plot, setting, and characters.
The
character arc was my favorite part; as the twists and turns of a most clever
plot unfolded, the array of emotions and the secrets uncovered made me feel that
I met an interesting and complex group of people,
The settings
and scenery took me to fun places of my youth. The writing was tight and
fabulous, and I felt transported to the characters’ homes.
It’s an
intricate and complex book while still delivering a feel-good
simplicity.
Gail Priest has a passion for women’s fiction. Her degrees and work in theatre and counseling psychology inspire her stories of healing from trauma and secrets within families. A dash of romance and her love of second chances are always in the mix. The settings of her novels are influenced by her time spent on the coast of New Jersey and the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Gail lives in New Jersey with her husband and their Havanese dog, Annie. When she’s not writing, Gail can be found reading or looking for birds and sea glass along the beaches and bays of the East Coast.
Gail is the author of Soul Dancing, the Annie Crow Knoll Trilogy and Eastern Shore Shorts. She’s a member of The Women’s Fiction Writers Association, Eastern Shore Writers Association, Novelitics Writers Collective, and the South Jersey Writers Group, where she was named Writer of the Year.
Il primo ministro Devius della provincia autonoma di Sibilla farà approvare una legge che pone limiti alla libertà di parola delle donne, per “sedare l’isteria femminista”. La giovane Pandora, disgustata da un futuro di sottomissione e accondiscendenza al desiderio maschile, fugge da una scuola che la indottrina e da una società che la controlla tramite l’onnipresenza di schermi televisivi e occhi-spia, fugge verso Città Libera. Ha appreso l’esistenza di questa comunità mistica di sole donne, che vivono in armonia, quasi in simbiosi con la foresta, dall’Occhio del Futuro, che da tempo le mostra visioni del passato e dell’avvenire. Nella Foresta delle Idee, la misteriosa Yi Lin è in grado di riportare alla vita con un soffio le antenate, coloro che costruirono nello stesso luogo una civiltà femminile di cui rimangono tombe e statue di dee, e sulle cui vestigia le fuoriuscite da Sibilla intendono costruire una comunità affrancata dall’oppressione che soffoca le donne. Ma Devius non può tollerare che si costruisca un’alternativa al suo potere.
