Synopsis

Young Dominican single mother Selena Cruz is trying to make a new life for herself in Antigua, dealing with prejudice, poverty, and her interfering sister. When she meets handsome cricket coach Michael Lindo, her world is turned upside down. The course of true love is never smooth, and Michael and Selena's story is no exception as they try to bridge the gap between their two cultures and their personal expectations of love. Romantic and delightful, this novella by Joanne C. Hillhouse looks at immigration and cross-cultural relationships in a warm and very human way. Dancing Nude in the Moonlight was first published in 2004, and it is reissued here along with selected poems and stories from Joanne C. Hillhouse's wide collection of work. She has been published in Caribbean, North American, and African literary journals.

About this title

Review:

"Dancing Nude in the Moonlight is a literary treat for the soul. The writer takes the reader into the hearts and minds of each character and allows the reader to evoke and stir inner feelings that connects the reader and character with genuine emotions. A true page turner that never misses a beat..." --Carolyn D. Punter, Sun Weekend (Barbados)
