Hand Holds

First, a note of deep thanks to Tasha, who took the time to hunt down an early copy of HOUSE OF DANCE, and who so generously wrote about it in her always entertaining and enlightening blog, http://andanotherbookread.blogspot.com/. I feel graced by her thoughtful response.

So much of HOUSE is about the healing power of dance, and while dance has confounded me often, while it has shaken my equilibrium and not always roused the best of me, it more often yields, provokes, enables light; it heightens the tint of things, deepens the hue. It is a hand reaching for a hand, in the end, and that's all we have as people.
