Dancing on the Edge of the Roof

Rating:
Summary: What a hoot!
Review: Who among us has not thought of just taking off and leaving everything behind, family, job, 'life'? Well, Juanita, the heroine in this fine first book does that. And as someone who has written about Montana, I don't think she could have chosen a better place to get lost in. Talk about your quirky characters!
I appreciated the fact that the author was not afraid to pair Juanita with a Native American man. Jessie, the 'Lakota man', as she referred to him. I'd like to see more authors bring African Americans and Native Americans together in fiction. Another point: It's often true that the best thing you can do for a spoiled child is nothing. Let him stand on his own two feet. Wonderful first novel, Ms. Williams. I look forward to reading more from you.
