John and Abby Reynolds were the perfect couple, sharing a love born of childhood friendship and deep family ties. They are envied by their friends, cherished by their children, admired by their peers. But after surviving twenty-one years of love, loss, and laughter, of raising a family in their lakeside home, John and Abby are about to lose it all.
On the verge of having an affair, John is no more the man Abby married than she is the long ago girl of his dreams. They are strangers whose days of dancing seem gone forever, and finally they make the saddest decision of all. They gather their three children to tell them the news, but before they can speak, their daughter makes an announcement of her own--a joyous one: She is getting married that summer.
Determined not to ruin their daughter's season of happiness, Abby and John secretly agree to put their divorce plans on hold. But as the wedding nears, they are haunted by questions. Is the decision they've made irreversible? Are there times when marriage--even the marriage between two people of faith--is truly beyond repair? And is it possible, alone in the moonlight on an old wooden pier, to once more find....a time to dance?
My thoughts: I enjoyed this book. I did like the cheesy. happy ending. Stephanie just said any book by this author so I picked this one because it isn't part of a series. I will be reading more of her.
there is a sequel to this book. it's called a time to embrace. I have it if you want to borrow it.
