Praise for this book
Dancing on a High Wire weaves together the stories of three women facing unique challenges that take them through doubt, fear, and grief. Their struggles with relationships, family, health, careers, and identity are ones that readers of all ages and walks of life will relate to. The plot moves quickly and draws you in as tragedy unfolds in a different way for each character. But ultimately this is a hopeful novel, and readers will find much to reflect on as the characters learn to face their situations with grace and strength. Patricia Robertson's latest novel, Dancing on a High Wire, is a winner! "Dance" is, above all, a love story. Romantic love, love of family and friends, and learning to love and accept oneself, even with multiple faults and imperfections. Learning to love the Dance of life, with all its trials and joys. Dancing on a High Wire is a refreshing contemporary novel of love, told without the sex, violence and cursing that permeate so many of today's novels. A novel of changing times, but also of traditional Christian values, Pat's own strong faith and commitment to family shines through. I'm looking forward to the sequel. Patricia Robertson's latest novel, "Dancing on a High Wire," begins with the breakup of a man and woman. He has concluded that he is gay. That emotionally volatile situation, and those that follow it, all explore the theme of people faced with desperate adjustments to reality: A ballet dancer whose life and career are threatened by cancer; a mother whose daughter could not make a right choice in youth if her life depended on it, and who is about to be released after serving hard time for a crime; other family members whose lives are shaken by these events, who are forced to walk fine lines with reality. Lines that warrant the metaphor of a high wire in life. There are points in the various story lines that touch the emotions deeply, for they will be read by people who have experienced just these sorts of life challenges. And what is the purpose of fictional story-telling about such people? Pat Robertson brings to these stories her own experiences in life, her deep faith in God, and a sense of the love and commitment it takes to walk the high wires of life. With her experience and skill in story-telling, she gives the reader a vicarious journey through the possibilities of wire-walking. Read and be entertained. Read and be instructed. And yes, read and be instructed. It is possible to walk the high wire without taking a fatal plunge.
