Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn - Kris Radish

Naked....yes...i said naked...not the naughty kind of naked...well ok, once you start reading...but not porn naked for goodness sake...a good kinda naked...

I love Kris Radish...this was the second book i have read and she just gets better and better...although if you researched it...this one came first i think...but whatever, i digress...this one was even more fabulous (i seem to be using that word alot lately and am not sure why...but anyway!)


Dancing starts out with quite the hook...(i use hook because that is what my 7th grader is using when writing papers and stories for class...in jr high)

Everything changes and the very foundation of her life comes into question when Meg witnesses her husband having sex with another woman on her bed in her suburban Chicago home.

I dont think i could have been as cool as she was...but maybe when you are in a situation like that...that is what is warrented for the moment...

In order to find her way to a new life, Meg, along with three friends, re-creates the journey to Mexico that her favorite aunt took as a young woman. Her aunt's influence is still visible in remote Mexican villages, and the journey becomes spiritual as well as geographical.

I will someday take this journey...the one she takes to mexico...or to somewhere...

As Meg finds out more details of her aunt's life, she wonders why this wonderful woman's influence on her never took hold before she went into crisis.

I long to find a few more of these women...i have already discovered a few...I love how Meg learns what she needs and what her friends need and they provide it for each other when they can, and when they cant they kick each other in the pants and tell the other to "go for it"

Then, when she returns to Chicago, Meg finds kindred spirits who have felt lost and oppressed but who now may be willing to let go and even dance naked.

Once again Radish sings the praises of sisterhood by creating an enticing world of women helping women to become the empowered individuals they were meant to be. Patty EngelmannCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
