More DescriptionPaula Anne Fairbanks understands all about the unexamined life. And she likes hers that way. Until her world gets ripped smooth apart. Running from reality, Paula falls under the mythological spells being spun on Diana Maclean's porch. Surely Paula's own choices aren't to blame for the summer of insanity she spends at Diana's (known as the White Witch of Sociable, Texas). But do the stories that Diana tells relate at all to real life? If so, is existence then, truly a fairy tale? I JUST CAME HERE TO DANCE, a modern allegory, waltzes atop the line between the creative and the crazy, between the sacred and the maligned. Through myths it weaves together the multi-layers of personal Self with that of the collective whole. And finally, Paula Anne and the townsfolk learn the simplest of truths--that the fire's ashes produce wisdom and courage, just as the stories say.
