Cleo's Slow Dance

Like many of us, Cleo learns how much she loves the life she has created with family and friends only when she is given the opportunity to change that life. For many years she fulfilled the homemaking responsibilities of wife, mother, sister, friend, and teacher but wished for a more glamorous life. When she loses her husband and her children are grown and making their own way, she realizes she has been fooling herself all along. Cleo copes with the same parenting, scheduling and transportation problems of many famlies although she is fortunate to have mature teenagers and caring friends to help her with this struggle. Cleo's Slow Dance may motivate those of us caught up in family duties to think about choices made. It's a good story and a fast read.
