Long Dance Home (Clearwater Series Book 1)

Description

What is a steadfast perfectionist to do when her life spins out of control?

Cece Camden has a plan—for work, for love, for life—and she believes she’s right on track. But on her 29th birthday, her grand plan unravels, and the disciplined former ballerina’s life is turned upside down.

Newly unemployed and devastated to learn she and her boyfriend are not on the same page, Cece returns to Clearwater, her hometown in California Wine Country, for Christmas, hoping to find comfort and perspective in the loving embrace of family. But an impulsive decision to help rescue a small-town production of The Nutcracker only adds stress and complications to her already derailed life plan.

Having once been the ballerina poised to make Clearwater famous, Cece’s return attracts attention, inspires gossip, and forces her to revisit a choice she’d made years prior at the most vulnerable time of her life. As old wounds are opened and secrets revealed, her long-held beliefs are challenged, leading her to question everything she thought she understood about family, commitment, and her destiny as a dancer.

Struggling to accept the truth, Cece makes another impulsive, life-changing decision, one that opens her heart to new dreams, new love, and a future she’d never imagined.
