(A Hidden Beauty Novel)
(Volume 2)
by Mary Crawford
June 15th - June 25th
For
most, life is a winding road of challenges, some joyful, while others lead to
heartache and despair. Tara Isamu, a dancer blessed with grace and elegance,
lives a remarkable life. She sees her future as bright...but that all changes
in an instant, when a single act of violence steals her innocence.
Tara’s dreams are suddenly shattered, turning her emotions inward, where she harbors a secret that has seemingly blemished her soul. She is left in darkness until a chance meeting with an old friend opens the door to healing and love. Aidan O’Brien and Tara’s relationship is borne of youthful affection and tempered in the foundry of tragedy. Together, they walk a difficult path, one that heals through understanding and acceptance.
So the Heart Can Dance is a love story, written with deep meaning for anyone who has endured life-altering misfortune that leaves behind unseen, yet very real scars. Read it as a celebration of the soul’s ability to overcome the worst of life’s challenges. It will lift, inspire and breathe hope into the most painful experiences, and teach us all...we can surely dance again.
Please Note: Throughout 2015 the author will donate 15% of gross profits to RAINN, a national charity dedicated to stopping sexual assault and abuse.
Although this book is the second in the Hidden Beauty series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone.

I have been lucky enough to live my own version
of a romance novel. I married the guy who kissed me at summer camp. He told me
on the night we met that he was going to marry me and be the father of my
children. Eventually I stopped giggling when he said it, and we just celebrated
our 26th wedding anniversary. We have two children. The oldest, is in medical
school, and the youngest is still in elementary school.
Presently, I’m a stay at home mom and I am working on several novels. I volunteer my time to a variety of causes. I have also worked as a Civil Rights Attorney and diversity advocate. I spent several years working for various social service agencies before becoming an attorney.
In my spare time, I love to cook, decorate cakes and, of course, obsessively compulsively read.

ALPHA BOOK CLUB'S REVIEW
“I’ve forgotten how strikingly beautiful she is. Her eyes are light gray, with a band of brown around the outside, and naturally occurring tear in one pupil.”
Could not put this book down!! This book handled difficult topics, but it was handled with such grace and taste. The characters were very well developed and the story flowed nicely!!

This book was so beautifully written and the characters were so well developed it’s not hard to be sucked in from page one. We meet Tara a very accomplished dancer whose life changes after a horrific incident occurs. Afterwards, Tara doesn’t feel like herself anymore and no longer wishes to dance. And just when she thinks her life can’t get any worse, she loses both of her parents. One night while at a wedding her sees a gentleman that she swears she doesn’t know, but he claims she does. When she finally remembers who he is and it’s an old childhood friend, she’s completely shocked. Aiden has always loved Tara since they were kids. He finds out what happened to Tara and helps her try to become who she used to be. This story was written with such heart and love, you can tell how much the author loves to write and believes in the characters in the story! This book is the second in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
