DANCE WITH ME

Master baker Jane Porter visits her home in Twin Rivers, Rhode Island, to help her sister, who lives with their ailing mother, and to see how her daughter, Chloe, has grown under the love of her adopted parents. Dylan Chadwick, Chloe's uncle, owns the family apple orchard and is trying to return it to life as he repairs his emotional health after the death of his wife and daughter. When Jane begins to bake pies for Dylan's farm stand, managed by Chloe, sparks begin to fly. Karen Ziemba breathes life into all the characters so ably created by Rice. Ziemba's soft cadence adds romance and understanding to these tangled lives and the love that struggles to blossom in the orchard. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 04]
