An appealing, bitter-sweetly emotional tale about friendship and second chances. This is the second novel I’ve read by Beth Moran, she doesn't shy away from heartache or the ups and downs in life, consequently it’s easy to connect to the relationships within her stories. At 33, having hit rock bottom both emotionally and financially, Ruth is returning to her parent’s home. There are a lot of interesting and occasionally quirky characters within this story, with family, friends and villagers popping up to make an appearance. Amusing moments, twinkles of romance, and a particularly scary episode sit alongside the everyday yet stimulating reality of being part of a family. ‘I Hope You Dance’ is an engaging and affectionate story, ready to warmly welcome you to Ruth’s return to life while living in a small market town. ~ Liz Robinson

My Mother always told me I had lousy timing. Of course, she was talking about the Viennese waltz, the Argentinian tango and the foxtrot. My current timing issue involved five Chinese businessmen and a psychological breakdown. All Ruth had ever wanted to do was marry David Carrington, the boy-next-door. They would spend their days counting frogs and live in the Big House with the wonky dog. Instead David broke Ruth's heart and she left Southwell, promising never to return. Fifteen years on Ruth has hit rock bottom. There is no way out. Except one...Ruth moves home to face her estranged father, whirlwind mother, and the boy-next-door. A quirky story of loss and hope, friendship and love, and daring to dance again.
