Dancing Daughter

by Susan Lambert

Overview

Are you unknowingly dancing to a dangerous childhood melody?

A melody choreographed by childhood trauma?

Dancing Daughter is a raw and confronting personal story of a young girl growing up amidst the rigours of family violence.

It is the voice of both a child and an adult.

It is the transformation from a wounded child to a healed adult.

It is a story of hope, healing and renewal as this young girl finds a way to silence that discordant melody and choreograph a new dance for herself.

A dance of courage, faith and forgiveness.
