Usually, for Teaser Tuesdays, I follow accepted practice and post a couple sentences from a book I’m currently reading. But I’ve always been a rebel, and I don’t see why I should change now.

For the second day of Valentine’s week, I thought I’d post a snippet from an under-appreciated author’s first book, Dancing on the Edge of the Roof by Sheila Williams. I would never have read this book, or even heard of it, except that I heard Sheila WIlliams tell her story in a radio interview. She was a corporate executive, left her job, burned the bridges, and began a writing career.
