Summary of Sue Monk Kidd's The Dance of the Dissident Daughter

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was struggling to come to terms with my life as a woman. I had been stuck, and the fear of going forward was paralyzing me. But I saw my daughter on her knees before those laughing men, and suddenly all my hesitancy was shattered.

#2 The light of the truck seemed to go on and on, blinding me. I felt like a small animal in the road, unable to move, as I stared at my daughter on her knees before the men.

#3 I had grown up hearing that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. I’d learned to be a sweet-spoken woman who, no matter how challenging the situation, responded nicely.

#4 I was a full-time writer, spending many hours immersed in books. I lived in a nice house with a man I’d been married to for 18 years, and we had two children, Bob and Ann, both in early adolescence. I went to church regularly and was involved in the social life of the small, Southern town where we lived.
