Can't Wait to Dance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781637672006)

I love to read, as do many other women in this life, especially fiction. Turning the pages of a good novel is like chocolate for the mind, each page filled with sweet, creamy adventure. Wrap some music around the words and I'm hooked twice.

The novel Can't Wait to Dance concerns three very different/alike women (one white, two black) and their complicated friendship with each other and their search for meaningful relationships with other people in their lives. The story is set against the lush, interesting, sparkling world of Denver, Colorado.

Astra, a cherub-like blonde from Minnesota, feigns independence, but all the while is searching for some man to take care of her. Simi, a short, graceful dark woman, is bored with nude modeling and most men. She needs a change and a chance to find the one thing she wants to do with her life. Icey, an attractive fair-skinned tall thin woman, has a PR job and a hustler mortician boyfriend who are interfering with her desire to close her door and write romance novels.

These three women experience joy, pain, pregnancy, rape and changing times and relationships, played out against the beat of the pulsating music that loudly runs through their lives, to reach a desired conclusion.
