Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A square dance is a dance for four couples (eight dancers in total) arranged in a square, with one couple on each side, facing the middle of the square. Square dances contain elements from numerous traditional dances and were first documented in 16th-century England. The book is a romance, a mystery, a lively collection of stories and humor about many kinds of music and dance, and an imaginative fiction. But, at its heart it is a song of praise for the dance that spun "connective fibers that stitched the individuals into the warp and woof of society . . . fleshed-out demonstrations that an individual belonged there, that the world of people around them included them, held their hands, danced with them."
