Dancing on Glass
1974. In the steamy city of New Orleans, Amalise, a strong, accomplished young lawyer, sees Phillip as a charming, magnetic artist, unlike any man she has known. Jude, her best friend from childhood, senses danger and tries to warn her. But Amalise makes her own decisions. And she’s certain Jude is wrong.
After marriage she slowly realizes that Phillip is not quite what he seemed. But they are in love—she can handle this. When she joins a prestigious law firm, however, she finds that balancing marriage and a demanding career is more difficult than she had expected. But Amalise remains confident—she will save both her marriage and her career.
While Amalise fights to climb the ladder of success in the firm—still a man’s world—Phillip gradually reveals a dark side which she had never suspected. His insidious behavior soon becomes her secret, even as her life threatens to spin out of control. At this turning point she realizes she must end the predatory relationship.
But is she already too late?
Chasing the Wind
At 8:47 A.M. on Wednesday, October 12, 1977, new-to-town businessman Bingham Murdock flew his small plane into New Orleans, banking it in such a way that a ray of sunshine shot through the city at light speed.
Amalise Catoir saw the flash from her sixteenth floor law office window. Finally feeling alive after the death of her abusive husband, she imagined seeing the plane was a fate for her eyes only; a special connection between the unknown giver and she, the recipient of light.
But someone else saw it, a six-year-old Cambodian refugee in foster care for whom a sudden burst of brightness reminds him of artillery fire.
Destined to cross paths with the man and the child, Amalise doesn’t yet know the deeper spiritual lesson she will learn: that we are responsible not only for the things we do, but also for the things that we don’t.
Genre: Inspirational
