"The people in Janet Peery's first collection of stories, Alligator Dance, pull you in, startle you, stay with you long afteryou have finished the book; you are left feeling, as the author puts it, 'stunned before the complex living heart of grace.' A book like Alligator Dance is why I read as much as I do, hoping always that I will find this kind of singing language, this kind of insight into how people truly assess and change their lives, this kind of rigorous attention to what makes people decide to act (or not act) in any ordinary moment....This is one of the best first collections I have ever read."Peery, Janet is the author of 'Alligator Dance Stories' with ISBN 9780870743535 and ISBN 0870743538.
