Dance into the Light is a searing journey into loss, mental illness, addiction, and suicide. It is also a discovery of love, hope, and enlightenment gained by wading through the detritus of life.

Patty Fielding, a USO entertainer, escapes after her camp in Vietnam is attacked during the Tet Offensive ceasefire in 1968. "You can lose who you are here," her brother Christopher, stationed at Da Nang, wrote in a letter to her. Struggling to find the person he used to be, Chris got himself killed. On the run from the North Vietnamese, Patty meets a group of American soldiers and relies on army regulations to save her. She soon realizes these soldiers play by different rules. They are on a top-secret mission to alter the course of the war. Patty returns to the USA, a possible security risk. Being a general's daughter won't save her-not when she's an anti-war protestor. Fifty years later, in 2018, when Operation Fracture Jaw is declassified and after the release of the Pentagon Papers, Patty uncovers the lies and discovers the truth.

Haliburton, Ontario, 1878. The new Victoria Rail Line delivers hundreds of immigrants to the last station in the Northern Townships. Some are wealthy, eager to profit from new opportunities. Most are poor and illiterate. The farmland is free if you can build a cabin and raise crops out of granite. Many owe their survival to Ona McLeod and her band of fallen women who offer essential services at the Nunnery. Are you hungry? Lonely? Do you need a cure for venereal disease? The nuns can help. Emboldened by positions of power, and supported by the moral folk of the village, Rev. Whitlock and banker Alex Smith set out to banish the women. It takes a brutal murder to reveal the worst of human greed and the best of the human heart. The dead have much to teach the living at the End of the Line.
