Dancing In The Rain by Jennifer Slattery was a sweet story. I fell in love with this book right from the start. This book has a different plot from books that I usually read in this genre, so I really enjoyed this book. I loved watching as both Loni and Michael grew throughout the book and where they ended up by the end of the book. This book also reminded me that we can’t judge people because of their disabilities. I was also reminded that even though things may be hard for me I need to keep pushing forward because we all capable of more than we know. All in all this was a super sweet story and I can’t wait to read more books by this author in the future because so far I have really enjoyed both of the books I have read by this author.
About The Book
On the verge of college graduation, Loni Parker seeks employment as a music teacher, but no one will hire her since she’s blind. Or so she thinks. To take her mind off her troubles, her roommate invites her to spring retreat at Camp Hope in the gorgeous North Carolina mountains. Unbeknown to Loni, Michael Ackerman, the director, is an ex-con responsible for the accident that caused her blindness. When Loni warms up to camp and wants to return as a summer counselor, Michael opposes the idea, which only makes Loni want to prove herself all the more. Though she doesn’t expect to fall for the guy. Still, her need for independence and dream of teaching win out, taking her far away from her beloved Camp Hope . . . and a certain director.
Camp director Michael Ackerman recognizes Lonie instantly and wants to avoid her at all costs. Yet, despite the guilt pushing him from her, a growing attraction draws him to the determined woman. She sees more with her heart than the average person does with his eyes. But her presence also dredges up a long-buried anger toward his alcoholic father that he’d just as soon keep hidden. When circumstances spin out of control, Michael is forced to face a past that may destroy his present.
