Dancing on Broken Glass by Ka Hancock is a book that is my recent rant. I am telling everyone how much I enjoyed this book. It is not an easy or happy read, but it is real - and captured my attention from the very beginning. It is the tough story of Lucy Houston and Mickey Chandler - two people that fell in love and knew from the beginning that their marriage was going to be a fight. And what a fight it was! Lucy battled breast cancer early on in the marriage which was a huge stresser. Not to mention Mickey is bipolar and struggles to keep himself out of the hospital almost on a monthly basis. The pair come together and fight through these issues - which only makes them stronger. But when Lucy becomes pregnant - that is when the real story begins. They made a promise to each other that they would not have any children because of their situations and health - now it all seems to come crashing down when this baby is on the way. There are tough decisions ahead for both of them as they battle a pregnancy that may ruin their marriage AND other health decisions that seek to ruin them both. This is a tear jerker - I was sobbing - literally sobbing at parts of this book - it is heavy and it hurts. But what an amazing story and amazing characters. Truly a book that stays with you long after you have turned the last page!
