When the pretending ends, the lying begins . . . Molly Arnette is good at keeping secrets. As she and her husband try to adopt a baby, she worries that the truth she’s kept hidden about her North Carolina childhood will rise to the surface and destroy not only her chance at adoption, but her marriage as well. Molly ran away from her family twenty years ago after a shocking event left her devastated and distrustful of those she loved. Now, as she tries to find a way to make peace with her past and embrace a healthy future, she discovers that even she doesn’t know the truth of what happened in her family of pretenders.
Pretending to Dance by Diane Chamberlain, the bestselling author of The Silent Sister, is a fascinating and deftly-woven novel, that reveals the devastating power of secrets.

My reading group were lucky enough to win copies of this book. It was a hit all round. One of us read it with tears in her eyes as it struck many chords. We all thought it dealt with some decidedly thorny issues with great sensitivity. Each of us had our own favourite characters and we all thought them fairly believable. We all appreciated the optimism it left us with. Most of us were gripped by it and found it compelling.
