I
found the book "Still Dancing" to be more than I was expecting. It
was truly inspirational and clearly a much deeper and richer story experience
then I thought I was going to get. The authors Gabrielle Ford and Donna Rhine
have presented the life experiences of a young woman along with her dog - who
manages to fight back at disease, bullies and at times some emotionally
stressing times in her life.
There are multi-layered pieces to this book but the underlying issues are about
self-confidence and overcoming roadblocks that keep getting thrown at Gabrielle
and her family. Certainly her mother is also a true hero in this accounting, as
she had to deal with so many life tests from personal health issues to a
suicide in her family - while being there for her own daughter's needs.
The issue of school bullies and growing up are the backbone of the book but it
is so much more than just that. It is also about the love of a dog,
friendships, family, hope and inspiration. Gabielle and her dog Izzy have
touched so many lives.
I strongly recommend this book for all readers in the family. This book is one
of those books that will make you feel better afterwards even though you might
find yourself tearful while reading parts of it. I have nominated this book for
one of the annual awards from "The American Author's Association". I
believe that it is that good. Go buy a copy of this book NOW!
