Dancing on Broken Glass

By: Ka Hancock

Narrated by: Amy Landon, Zach Villa

Lucy Houston and Mickey Chandler probably shouldn't have fallen in love, let alone gotten married. They're both plagued with faulty genes - he has bipolar disorder and she has a ravaging family history of breast cancer. But when their paths cross on the night of Lucy's 21st birthday, sparks fly, and there's no denying their chemistry. Cautious every step of the way, they are determined to make their relationship work-and they put it all in writing. Mickey promises to take his medication. Lucy promises not to blame him for what is beyond his control. He promises honesty. She promises patience. Like any marriage, they have good days and bad days-and some very bad days. In dealing with their unique challenges, they make the heartbreaking decision not to have children. But when Lucy shows up for a routine physical just shy of their eleventh anniversary, she gets an impossible surprise that changes everything. Everything. Suddenly, all their rules are thrown out the window, and the two of them must redefine what love really is. An unvarnished portrait of a marriage that is both ordinary and extraordinary, Dancing on Broken Glass takes listeners on an unforgettable journey of the heart.

Critic reviews

"Hancock's debut is an authentic tearjerker--an intimate and touching story that will remain in [listeners'] hearts." ( Publishers Weekly)

An Amazing Love Story

Lucy was an amazing selfless person inside and out. What a sacrifice she made for her family and especially her husband. The story was very emotional that at one point I wish I hadn’t started reading it; the ending chapters made up for that. I did feel like the epilogue ending was a little short, especially after the story was a little slow and very detailed throughout the book.

Definitely worth a credit

A sad but predictable ending. Although I knew what was coming I still shed had a few tears.

It’s worth the Dance

Very good story line and proof that love is strong than any mental illness . I was completely immersed from the beginning.

wow is all I can say.

this was an excellent listen. great narration. this author is one on a million. can't wait for a new book to come out

Beautiful Story

This is a beautiful story of love. Unwavering love, and unconditional love. Be prepared to shed a few tears.
