Rent Pretending to Dance: A Novel

The word PRETEND now has new meaning and relevance for me. When you want to do something but dont have the courage or attitude to do it, PRETEND to do it and pretty soon you WILL be doing it.This book was not only a good and emotional read... it taught me something.Molly is good at pretending and not so good at lying. But she is trying to keep her childhood life a secret from her husband, Aiden. The James, Molly and Aiden, cannot have children of their own, so are attempting to adopt. The adoption will be OPEN the birth mother will select the new parents and remain in the adoptive parents and her childs lives.The book is written in a current and flashback style. As Molly and Aiden work their way through the adoption process, we flashback to Mollys childhood in NC and start to understand the secrets she is keeping.The book, written by my favorite author, Diane Chamberlain, is more than a worthy read, another Chamberlain triumph. Other books I have loved by Chamberlain: Necessary Lies and The Silent Sister.As are many of Chamberlains books, Pretending to Dance is available on audio and lovingly read by Susan Bennett. Five stars!!
