Dancing In The Dark

by Shirley C. Whitman

Overview

Emma Morgan's husband dies suddenly, and she stumbles on evidence he siphoned off large amounts of their personal savings to an intimidating stranger. Gone are her stable marriage, her secure future, and the comfortable life in suburbia she's always taken for granted. She must now find her way through a labyrinth of terrifying challenges, or cower behind the wall of her deepest insecurities forever.

Complications increase when she is swept off her feet by a charismatic widower who is carrying secrets of his own; secrets that threaten to destroy her world all over again. Simultaneously, her dearest friend becomes ill, stretching her emotional resources to the breaking point.

Emma is forced to examine the past in order to determine why, throughout life, fear has dictated her choices. Insight begins to empower her. Compelled to uncover the truth of her late husband's mysterious double life, she goes in search of the ghost in the Morgan's family closet. Never could she have predicted the ghost would come back to life and knock her off her feet.

As she begins to reinvent her life according to her own design, she believes her tribulations are finally behind her. Then disaster strikes again, and she must admit one final truth she's been denying—the passport to lasting happiness is close at hand, although it may be too late to reach out and claim it.

About the Author

"We’re going to be writers,” my best friend and I declared when we were very young. Then, the years flew by, and there were careers, marriages, parenting, and finally retirement. Neither of us wholly abandoned that childhood dream; she became a published author long ago. I continued to keep the aspiration simmering on the back burner of my mind until, finally, I’ve done it. My debut novel is called Dancing in the Dark. It is the story of one woman’s discovery that authentic living requires deep self-honesty, and loving others doesn’t mean abandoning oneself. This initial book has now become a completed trilogy, and I am working on my fourth novel involving all new characters. Each of my stories contains romantic as well as inspirational elements, and each portrays a love for the natural world. I have always lived in Nova Scotia, and the city of Halifax has been my home for the past decade. Before retirement, I worked in the human services field; prior to that I raised two children, and am now a grandmother. Besides writing, I am an avid reader, and enjoy colored pencil painting. Spirituality is central to my life, and I am also dedicated to a healthy lifestyle. I am a member of The Writer’s Federation of Nova Scotia and was a finalist in a short story contest presented by them.
