MY REVIEW
  I really enjoyed When Calls The Heart - The Dance. It is a Hallmark movie inspired by the best selling series by Janette Oke.
  This DVD doesn’t go along with the book series. It tells a story of the Elizabeth from the book series niece Elizabeth.
  It is continuing from the first DVD when Elizabeth goes West to teach those that no one else wants to teach. In this DVD men from another town come and help run the coal mine and they have quite a few adventures. Not all of the adventures are good ones either.
  I really enjoyed the part when the widow Carla is close to having a baby and no one really knows how to help or deliver a baby, but it all comes together.
   Some things are getting stolen and some lives are changing. Some good and some bad in all situations. I know you will love this DVD The Dance. I highly recommend it.

The Dance by Dan Walsh and Gary Smalley * A Review


ABOUT THE DANCE
The Restoration Series (Book 1)
Jim Anderson is a successful businessman, and his wife, Marilyn, is the perfect wife. And why wouldn't she be? He gives her everything she needs. That's why Jim never expected to come home one day and find Marilyn gone.
After 27 years of marriage, Marilyn has had enough of feeling unloved and neglected. She wants to experience some measure of happiness before she's too old to enjoy it, even signing up for dance lessons, something Jim would never do. What will it take for Jim to finally become the man Marilyn needs him to be?

Combining the literary talents of bestselling author Dan Walsh and the relationship expertise of bestselling author Gary Smalley, The Dance is the first novel in The Restoration Series.

MY REVIEW
  I’ve read all of Dan Walsh’s books and some of Gary Smalley’s and found this book very interesting, but found some of it not realistic.
The Dance is about a couple who have been married for 27 years and the wife isn’t happy, because she doesn’t feel loved or appreciated. The husband just is interested in himself and work. I can understand and believe that, but in The Dance all of the blame is on the husband and the wife seems to be the perfect one. I know in a marriage if there are problems it’s because of both parties. You can’t blame everything on one person.
  I think Marilyn the wife should have stood up for herself and tell her husband I want a job and I want to do some fun things and if he didn’t want her to she could have told him her reasons and talked about it. I think in a marriage you can’t give hints you just have to come out and say something.
  Really I enjoyed The Dance and look forward to book 2, but I don’t see one person in a marriage to be the whole problem. I recommend this book and think it’s worth reading.
