Praise for The Ripple Becomes the Dance
What drew me in was the dance — the rhythm of your family. I connected with the young girl who had to be the strength in the chaos. This memoir shows how beautiful things can grow from muddy waters, and how the family dance can be full of love and laughter even when it’s scary. I would recommend this book to young girls and women of all ages. Sharing this shows resilience and what you can accomplish when you show up for yourself.”

“Nancy’s deeply personal and emotionally layered memoir explores the paradox of growing up in a home that loved warmly but hurt deeply. She never denies the love, nor excuses the harm. This is not a confession but a journey toward strength and resilience. A powerful and important read.”
