We Will Dance Again

September 22, 2013. This is the day that Dianne Sauter, a mother of three wonderful boys, got the call that would change their family forever. Her youngest son Michael, twenty-three, was involved in a motor vehicle accident. This is the unexpected journey of faith in thirty-three days.

This book is dedicated to Delilah Mae Bailey.. This is a short story about a little girl who would never give up after everything she loved to do was taken away. She was depressed but she kept going no matter what. She had hip dysplasia at birth but it was not detected by her pediatrician until she was a year and a half. Walking, talking, playing with her friends, little did she know it would soon come to an end. This book tells the story of a strong hearted little girl, who in her worse moments said she would dance again, walk on the grass again, and play with her friends.

'We Shall Dance Again' is a kaleidoscope of human relations: caring, loving, lustful, humiliating and revengeful. The central character of the story, Siddhartha, engulfed in these relations has tasted their extremes. Sonia, a stunning beauty, who does not think even the most eligible man worth her casual glance, pampers him with her mad love. She ushers him into the charming world brimming with desires of a home, of children and of a life-long companionship of love and devotion. But in response to her abject surrender, he only has a liking for her - no love. He vacillates between liking and love and eventually loses her. Sonia is fragrant and balmy and she oozes honey. And then comes Kranti, his wife, who with her cruelty and sickening absurdities, deflates all his pride to the edge and he has lost himself. She demolishes that Siddhartha whom his Dadi Maa tenderly raised with her selfless love. Kranti stinks of choked gutters and spits venom. Bereft of all hopes and rid of all desires when he is searching himself, Bharti happens. She is a dazzling beauty, earthly and spiritually both. Bharti is odourless like the spirits and exudes nectar. Both make love but in void. With her divine love, Siddhartha attains nirvana and is transformed to Siddha - the atman for whom Sonia and Kranti, love and hatred, pleasure and pain, all become synonymous.

One Day We'll Dance Again chronicles the life of Eric Ashton Ware and his courageous battle against astrocytomas of the brain stem. The story of six-year-old Eric, son of Byron and Angela Ware, is told through the observations of his mother during his illness, treatments, and the approximately eighteen month period after his death. When a child is ill, his world is suddenly ruled by others. He is under the care of people he has never met-a frightening proposition at best. His parents' only job is to attempt to calm and comfort him in an alien environment which involves medications, x-rays, treatments, and therapies. Eric's poignant story extends beyond his illness. At times somber, sometimes humorous, his story touched his brothers, family, friends, and many others. One Day We'll Dance Again endeavors to communicate the importance of maintaining family structure and depending upon family and faith support systems throughout and beyond the battle. It also recommends ways in which family, friends, and caregivers can assist families with critically ill children, and challenges all to consider how they can make a positive impact on these families in their time of need.

From singer-songwriter Nathan Peterson (So Am I), comes a book of reflections about life, rest, and presence in the midst of grief. Written as a follow-up to So Am I, Peterson shares lessons learned during the 14 months following the passing of his one-year-old daughter, and explores the possibility that grief is not just a means to an end -- a necessary step on the road to healing -- but that grief is an end in itself -- that grief is healing. This book is not only for those who have lost a loved one. It is not a how-to book on grieving or an account of events. Rather, it is a sharing and an exploration of the inner world of a grieving father and of the beauty and inseparability of the pain, anger, and confusion of grief with healing. Presented as chronological writings from the day Olivia passed away until the Petersons' fifth child was born 14 months later, the chapters are interspersed with Nathan's journal entries from this period of time. Both Peterson's previous book (So Am I) and this book (Dance Again) correspond to albums (with the same titles) released and available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and on his website.
