Tempo de Dançar

Beschreibung

"Uma história que reúne a graça em todas as suas formas, a busca pelo centro espiritual e um alto teor de romantismo. Obrigada, Patricia Beal!" - Tosca Lee, autora de best-sellers do New York Times Ana Brassfield já planejou em detalhes sua trajetória ao palco do Metropolitan Opera House, mas, quando menos espera, seu primeiro amor, o renomado bailarino alemão Claus Gert, volta à Geórgia para reconquistá-la. Apesar de um começo promissor em sua carreira no balé e o casamento iminente com o arquiteto-paisagista Peter Engberg, Ana se pergunta se os sonhos de dançar no Met são tão impossíveis quanto se mostrou seu envolvimento romântico com Claus no passado. Até que um beijo no palco entre Ana e Claus muda tudo. Convencido de que o beijo foi mais do que um erro que não se repetirá, Peter rompe o noivado. Com um cão idoso entrevado pela artrite e sonhos adiados, mas não esquecidos, Ana vai morar com Claus na Alemanha. Mas o fantasma da falecida esposa de Claus, os sentimentos dela por Peter e a pressão para conquistar um lugar ao sol numa grande companhia de balé são o preço a ser pago pela busca do sucesso. Ana parece prestes a conseguir tudo que sempre sonhou, mas será o suficiente?

Autor

Patricia Beal writes contemporary women's fiction and romance. She is a Genesis semi-finalist and First Impressions finalist. Her debut novel, A Season to Dance, came out on May 9, 2017. Desert Willow released in February of 2020. Patricia is from Brazil and immigrated to the United States in 1992. She fell in love with the English language while washing dishes at McDonald's and learned enough to pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). She put herself through college working at a BP gas station and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Cincinnati in 1998 with a B.A. in English Literature. She was the news editor of the university newspaper for two years. After an internship at the Pentagon, Patricia began working as a public affairs professional for the U.S. Army and served as a spokesperson for five general officers, providing statements for television, radio and print. She was in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, when the first Operation Enduring Freedom detainees arrived, and the stories she filed during the early days of the detention operation there gained national attention. Writing from Iraq in the first year of Operation Iraqi Freedom, she focused on feature stories for Army newspapers, and a feature on a day in the life of "Bad Luck Squad" won her a Keith L. Ware award in print journalism. Patricia loves the arts and travel and includes both in her stories often. She has danced ballet since her childhood and has performed with pre-professional companies in South America, Europe and the United States. Her dance experience brings great flavor and authenticity to her ballerina novels.
