“When I was forty-two years old, I decided to run away from home.” So begins Sheila Williams’ first novel, Dancing on the Edge of the Roof, the tale of Juanita Louis, a middle-aged woman from Ohio who leaves her ungrateful family behind to seek excitement and adventure out West.
In this charming riff on the standard romance format, Williams—a Columbus native who now lives in Northern Kentucky—sends her unlikely heroine on a one-way trip to a tiny town in the wilds of Montana, where Juanita finds fulfillment and love in delightfully unexpected ways.
