One day, Vera received a strange phone call from a stranger. Then, without knowing the reason at all, she flew from the west coast of the United States to Baltimore on the east coast to take care of a young woman she had never met, her 9-year-old daughter, and a puppy named "Airplane." This impulse leads Vera into an unknown life - surrounded by eccentric neighbors who treat each other like family, she finds comfort and contentment in this unexpected place. A Dance of Time is a captivating novel of hope and transformation that allows us to see Ann Taylor at the height of her powers.
