Summary: Lifetime love affair
Comment: This novel came highly recommended by one of my favorite people, Brian. Thanks so much for the suggestion. This is my first novel to read by author Diane McKinney-Whetstone but it won't be my last.
The love shared between Verdi and Johnson was so deep and strong. After being apart for 20 years these two reunite. Will Verdi leave Rowe who saved her life and go back to Johnson? I won't say. At no time in the novel did I feel sorry for Rowe. He had to deal with the decision he made to leave his wife.
The many twist to the story made for a great page turner. The characters were well developed and described. I loved the authors ability to go back and forth in time without confusing me. Blues Dancing is a novel that shouldn't be missed. I look forward to reading Tumbling and Tempest Rising.
Diane, I wish you much success and look forward to adding you to my list of favorite authors. Be Blessed.

Summary: I Wish I Could Rate This Book TEN Stars!!!
Comment: Visual! Sharp! Beautifully written! I loved this story of girl/woman Verdi Mae and her discovery of herself over the course of more than twenty years. The author easily weaves the story lines, time frames and memory in a seamless way that flows like water. Verdi meets and falls in love with Johnson but his need to sooth the pain of his upbringing and her need to explore everything that her sheltered roots have shielded her from leads them to a heroin addiction that threatens to kill all of the promise that their love brings. In what seems like a brutal betrayal, Johnson tears himself away from Verdi who is "rescued" by her college professor, Rowe. Rowe has his own issues, the least of which is his need to control situations and people, most noteably, Verdi. It takes Verdi more than twenty years to learn the truth of Johnson's departure and to come up from her own faith to save herself from the fears that keep her dependent throughout the story. Verdi's behavior is akin to the autistic child Sage who is not able to speak until a near tragedy pushes the words forth that she has not been able to verbalize in more than seven years of life. In the end, it is the special needs child who is the impetus of Verdi finding and saving herself. Read this book. It is so moving. You will love it. C.M.

Summary: Broavo
Comment: I didn't really like it at first. But later on it makes you realize how important the judgments you make can change your life perpetually. I also like the fact that the book dealt with instant probability.
I was pleased to observe that everything worked out at the end for Verdi and Johnson. I did not feel sorry for Rowe at all. He sooner or later had to deal with the choice of leaving his wife for a younger woman. All in all I liked it in the end only later I realized that the book was indeed a good one.
