Lies beneath the lovers. Lovers beneath the lies. Custody battles are never easy... Especially when the father is a powerful, wealthy man like Lincoln. Roxie could only blame herself. She was in the wrong for keeping their daughter, Lily, from him. But did that justify taking a child from their mother? He was no saint either. He hid the truth about her parents. The thing that had caused her to run. Not to mention the countless sleepless nights... Fearing for the safety of Lily, herself, and everyone around her. Lily is her only chance left to have a happy family. She used to think that Lincoln could be a part of that picture. Until she realized that he wasn't the man she once thought he was. Enough is enough. She's sick of all the lies and secrets. She needs answers. She needs closure. She needs to come out from hiding. For once in her life, she's decided to fight back and face her demons head-on. Book 5 of Barre to Bar Please read the series in the following order: 1. Dancing With Lies 2. Dancing With Temptation 3.

In popular thought, Christianity is often figured as being opposed to dance. Conventional scholarship traces this controversy back to the Middle Ages. Throughout the medieval era, the Latin Church denounced and prohibited dancing in religious and secular realms, often aligning it with demonic intervention, lust, pride, and sacrilege. Historical sources, however, suggest that medieval dance was a complex and ambivalent phenomenon. During the High and Late Middle Ages, Western theologians, liturgists, and mystics not only tolerated dance; they transformed it into a dynamic component of religious thought and practice. This book investigates how dance became a legitimate form of devotion in Christian culture. Sacred dance functioned to gloss scripture, frame spiritual experience, and imagine the afterlife. Invoking numerous manuscript and visual sources (biblical commentaries, sermons, saints' lives, ecclesiastical statutes, mystical treatises, vernacular literature, and iconography), this book highlights how medieval dance helped shape religious identity and social stratification. Moreover, this book shows the political dimension of dance, which worked in the service of Christendom, conversion, and social cohesion. In Ringleaders of Redemption, Kathryn Dickason reveals a long tradition of sacred dance in Christianity, one that the professionalization and secularization of Renaissance dance obscured, and one that the Reformation silenced and suppressed.

Abandoned as a toddler in Nazi Germany, American-born Eleanor Isaacson survived bombings, starvation, Russian occupation, and a stint as a child smuggler -- all before reaching her teens. Escaping just as the Iron Curtain clashed shut, Eleanor soon discovered that "the land of the free" held as much pain and rejection as the life she'd escaped. Deafness and solitude would become the catalyst leading to glorious womanhood, the love of her life, and the beauty of dance. In the process, she would discover that the "invisible Friend" whose presence alone had kept a lost child sane had other names -- heavenly Father, loving God, Prince of Peace. A true story too implausible for fiction with every element of a big screen epic -- war, danger, starvation, villaims, romance, rags-to-riches triumph -- along with the most delightful of heroines.
