Описание: Hidden around us live stories we never imagine or expect. Our neighbors, co-workers, and acquaintances-even the strangers in our check-out lines-have stories to tell. In Northern California, the most talented storytellers among us have recorded emotional events and perceptive insights for this collection of stories we title Our Dance with Words. Their writing sidles alongside their personal themes and messages to waltz and twist inside the mind of every reader who dares to join their dance with words. These authors-all members of Northern California Publishers & Authors-are everyday people with the writing prowess to chronicle emotional dances, decades of longing, travel that goes awry, first-person accounts of history, and the embarrassing lessons of youth. They expose fears, joys, hopes, frustrations, sorrows, mystery, and laughter. When you are finished reading Our Dance with Words, you will sit in your chair, sigh, and understand you are not alone. The writers among us are telling stories that make us feel included in the steps, sways, and dips that make up the dance that is life.
