The Dance takes the reader on a journey into the lives of a man and woman who have divorced their spouses after a traumatic event. They have doubts about their ability to ever be happily married. As lawyers in a corporate setting, they connect professionally, but never see each other socially until a rainy night in Manhattan and an empty guest bedroom permit them to share their past lives and to imagine a future together. Their subsequent marriage is full of unexpected land mines, forcing them to examine their behavior and their expectations in marriage.
