In Debra Tash's, Dancing In Circles, Minnie Capstan discovers herself and loves working for a traveling carnival.
Dancing In Circles is an exquisite tale of growing up and falling in love. Minnie wakes up one spring morning with a tremor in her gut and a shiver down her spine. That night, stranded at the fairgrounds with her boy crazy friends, they are rescued by Alfredo Santori. Minnie cannot forget his face or the shadows in his eyes.
Alfredo Santori is a man haunted by his past and paying penance for his faults. Drawn to Minnie, but afraid, he keeps a distance between them until one fateful night. Debra Tash deftly tales the story of two lovers divided by the past and afraid of the future.
Debra Tash knowledgeably portrays the wounds that fester from self inflicted penance and the healing touch of forgiveness. Minnie sees with the eyes of the young, but will she be able to remember the man she loves once she has heard his story. Alfredo's shame imprisons him in his own agony, yet will he believe he deserves compassion and love.
Debra Tash has crafted a saga of complexity, freshness, and inspiration. Dancing In Circles kept me glued to the page hoping that Minnie and Alfredo would be able to reach beyond the walls that kept them apart and find love. I hope that Ms. Tash continues to share her profound insight into the human soul with us.
