Dancing on Coals

<b>An award-winning playwright's story of her madcap race to find fame or enlightenment whichever comes first-- perfect for fans of Lori Gottlieb's <i>Maybe You Should Talk to Someone</i>.</b> <p/>In <i>Dancing on Coals</i> Cynthia Moore describes a multi-decade harebrained search for love in all the wrong places starting when her narcissistic mother abandons her to a Swiss finishing school. Desperately seeking belonging she leapfrogs from a polyamorous commune into a high-octane all-male performance group dancing as if her life depends on it. When she finally quits the theater earns a masters degree in psychology and develops her own therapeutic approach she is able to heal herself and find the true belonging and peace she longs for. <p/> At times humorous and self-deprecating at times poignant and heartbreaking this is the story of one woman's path from abandonment to wholeness and authenticity.
