"This book recounts my battle with two questions that are, if not the right questions, at least good classic ones: Is God real? And, So what if God is real? What difference would that make?" - from the Preface

Dance Lessons tells two inescapably intertwined stories. In the first, Catherine Wallace recounts her ordinary, often hilarious struggles to stay sane as she learns how to balance the demands of her career with the needs of her children. In the second, she adeptly deconstructs all of her own encounters with a witty and persistent God who thinks the real problem here is not career-vs-kids but call. Vocation. The stand-off starts to crumble one night when a rainbow declares truce during dinner, and she begins to discover than not even deconstruction can separate us from the love of God. Here indeed is a God whose reality matters, even for the crazy-making conflicts of modern family life.

"God haunted. I know no other description for Catherine Wallace than she is God haunted. In this extraordinary memoir she graciously shares her life so that we can see what it means to be haunted by God. Thoroughly honest and yet filled with loving kindness, she describes every day in a manner that can help us better see our every days in the light of God's love." - Stanley Hauerwas, Duke University

Catherine M. Wallace is an independent writer and cultural critic; she lives in suburban Chicago. Her other works include The Design of 'Biographia Literaria', and For Fidelity: How Intimacy and Commitment Enrich our Lives.
