Resumen del Editor

Molly Arnette is very good at keeping secrets. She and her husband live in San Diego, where they hope to soon adopt a baby. But the process terrifies her.

As the questions and background checks come one after another, Molly 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. She ran away from her family 20 years ago after a shocking event left her devastated and distrustful of those she loved: Her mother, the woman who raised her and who Molly says is dead but is very much alive; her birth mother, whose mysterious presence raised so many issues; and the father she adored, whose death sent her running from the small community of Morrison Ridge.

Now, as she tries to find a way to make peace with her past and embrace a future filled with promise, she discovers that even she doesn't know the truth of what happened in her family of pretenders.

Told with Diane Chamberlain's compelling prose and gift for deft exploration of the human heart, Pretending to Dance is an exploration of family, lies, and the complexities of both.

Amazing!!!

Diane Chamberlain never disappoints, and this is (in my opinion) one of her finest books to date!

This book captivated me.

I enjoyed this book, lots of emotions and I loved the relationships. Great story!!!
The ONLY down side was the sex scenes when Molly was a teen. It felt as if I were reading Judy Blume books again.

Boring repetitious

Flat reads like a grade school book very disappointed
Do not purchase this ridiculous book

Diane Chamberlain ALWAYS delivers!

Once again, Diane chamberlain delivers an amazing story that kept me listening obsessively! I hate to see it end! Susan Bennett is quickly becoming a favorite narrator on audible too!

Another Good Book by Diane!

As always with Diane Chamberlain books, it was very easy and enjoyable read. She always keeps the story moving forward with very few slow spots. It was a great story and I would recommend this book to others, as always. So happy she has her books on Audio for the long hours in the car. Waiting on the next one!

So Pleased to Have Found this Story

This book caught my attention because it takes place in my city of San Diego. But it held my attention because the stories draw you in.

Well written and excellent narration.

Hoping for a sequel so I can keep up on the lives of these people I've come to enjoy so much.

Another Diane Chamberlain charm

I enjoy Diane Chamberlain's books and this one was no different. I loved following the story from the character as a child and as an adult waiting for the story to come together. Waiting and wondering where this childhood story would lead and where it would end. I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and this story, delivered.

Pretending

The best of Diane Chamberlain. Not at all what I expected and as usual, her books are not cookie cutter at all. Part coming-of-age and part already grown, this story touches the heart on how families are all dysfunctional on so many levels but love remains. I haven’t read a Chamberlain book I haven’t loved.

Enjoyed

Loved the characters & story line. I love all of her books. Couldn’t put stop listening.

this book really hit home with me.

I thought this book was amazingly good and I did not want to have it finished brought back memories of when my dad died two years ago and made me feel like I was a little girl again hope you enjoy it.
