The Elegant Gathering of White Snows comes a poignant, outrageous, refreshingly liberating story about one woman whose life takes an unexpected turn....

Truly a Delight.......2007-09-05
My first introduction to Kris Radish's writing was Sunday List of Dreams, which inspired me to check out her earlier writings. What more can I say than "Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn" was truly a delight! And inspired me to read her other books!!
Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn.......2007-08-13
This book was a joy to read......hope Kris Radish will always find the time to write.....and entertain us.
And Everyone Lived Happily Ever After...........2007-07-16
What I first accepted as gradual spiritual awakening became, after a few chapters, somewhat cloying. By the end, it had moved firmly into a fairy tale, while still trying to be literature. My, my, what a perfect self-actualizing world is out there--just beyond our fingertips.
Chic Book.......2007-06-20
Had to read this horror for my book club. An annoying convoluted story. Unrealistic in every aspect. If you love the "I'm a victim" mentality, BUY this book. If you are emotionally well balanced AVOID it like the plague!
Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn.......2007-01-16
Excellent book, as are all Kris Radish's! This is a book every women should read. Ms Radish has an incredible knack to put into words our innermost thoughts & emotions. Some of it will make you giggle, laugh out loud, gasp in awe & shed tears you've forgotten how to shed! Please gals get out there and buy this book, you won't regreat a second of it!
Book Description
“I have decided that the trouble with print is, it never changes its mind,” writes Ursula Le Guin in her introduction to Dancing at the Edge of the World. But she has, and here is the record of that change in the decade since the publication of her last nonfiction collection, The Language of the Night. And what a mind — strong, supple, disciplined, playful, ranging over the whole field of its concerns, from modern literature to menopause, from utopian thought to rodeos, with an eloquence, wit, and precision that makes for exhilarating reading.

Le Guin's Non-Fiction Pieces: A Mental Biography.......2002-04-16
I had never read a word of Ursula K. Le Guin until I recently picked up "Dancing at the Edge of the World," a chronologically arranged collection of essays, talks and book reviews written by Le Guin during the period 1976 through 1988. It is a collection that is intended, in the author's words, "[to] provide a sort of mental biography, a record of responses to ethical and political climates, of the transforming effect of certain literary ideas, and of the changes of a mind."
Each of the essays listed in the table of contents is denoted with a glyph that categorizes the essay as dealing with feminism, social responsibility, literature, or travel. This categorization gives the reader a good idea of the range of the collection and of Le Guin's interests, which extend far beyond the science fiction genre for which she is most well known.
The quality of the essays is uneven. Some of the travel pieces are soporific ("Places Names," "Along the Platte" and "Over the Hills and a Great Way Off"), although they might be more interesting to readers who have been to the places Le Guin describes. Other pieces seem to suffer from the loss caused by transforming what were originally spoken presentations into writing. The feminist writings in some cases are the victim of changing times. What is useful, however, even in these weaker pieces, are Le Guin's introductions, which provide a useful contextual background that helps the reader understand the import of the essay.
While some of the essays are unremarkable, there also are several exceptional writings that are worth the price of admission. I refer, in particular, to the 1988 essay, "The Fisherman's Daughter," which provides a provocative and interesting discussion of women and writing, a text that follows in the line from Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own" through Tillie Olsen's "Silences," drawing heavily on both authors for another view of this much discussed literary/feminist theme. I also refer to the essays from 1986, a very good year for Le Guin insofar as the six essays included here from that year all provide interesting and worthwhile glimpses at why her writing is so well regarded. In particular, I enjoyed "Bryn Mawr Commencement Address" and "Text, Silence, Performance," two essays that illuminate the ways in which spoken and written language, and the privileging of certain communicative forms over others, affects the world.
Despite the shortcomings of some of its essays, "Dancing at the Edge of the World" provides a fascinating picture of Le Guin's worldview, successfully painting the "mental biography" of one of America's more interesting and accomplished writers during one decade of her life.

Great collection, useful for students of SF.......1999-05-13
This book presents a body of one woman's opinions. This might not sound like much but, given that these are Ursula Le Guin's opinions, it is well worth reading. She writes entertainingly and even though she wants to make you think it does not hurt one bit. Given the dearth of decent criticism of Science Fiction available at student level prices this is an excellent introduction to the genre for them. It is probably the first time most of them will have discovered serious thought behind SF. She also addresses other issues, often concerning her own experiences and the problems of being a woman writer, which would make this a useful text for anyone interested in gender studies. To sum up, buy it; it is very good; you will read these essays more than once, guaranteed.

Never before in the history of the National Book Award has an author been nominated two years in a row. Han Nolan was nominated in 1996 for Send Me Down a Miracle, and in 1997 Dancing on the Edge--a transcendent novel about a young woman trying to find the truth amidst the lies told by her family--won the National Book Award for young people's literature. Miracle was saved at birth from the belly of a dying woman--that sort of entry into the world is hard to live up to. Miracle has been struggling her whole life to become a prodigy like her writer father or to become gifted in the psychic arts like her grandmother. But when her father goes missing and her grandmother claims that he melted away, Miracle devotes all of her energies to bringing him back. Her efforts to reclaim her father are so sincere that she tries to melt herself in the fire made from a circle of candles. Never sparing humor, Han Nolan lets us meet this amazing young woman who wants so much to believe.
Book Description
Miracle McCloy comes from an unusual family: Her father, Dane is a prodigy who published his first book at age thirteen; her grandmother, Gigi, is clairvoyant; and her mother was dead when her "miracle" daughter was pulled from her womb. Having been raised according to a set of mystical rules and beliefs, Miracle is unable to cope in the real world. Lost in a desperate dance among lit candles, she sets herself afire and comes to in a hospital. There, a young psychiatrist helps her navigate her painful struggle to take charge of her life.
Includes a reader's guide and an interview with the author.

An extraordinary story of survival and mental illness.......2007-05-13
Kids ages 12 an older will find an extraordinary story of survival and mental illness in DANCING ON THE EDGE, which features the life of one Miracle, who finds dancing is the only thing which lends meaning to an isolated life with her grandparents. When her grandmother forbids her to dance, Miracle's desperate act confines her to a mental hospital in this story of a troubled young woman's search for meaning.
I love this book!.......2007-05-07
I'm in seventh grade, and had to choose any book for a book report. I am a dancer, mainly ballet, so when I saw this book at the bookstore, it caught my eye. I only have 24 pages to go, and so far, I'm LOVING the book! Right after I finish writing this, I'm going to finish the book! I recommend this book to everyone, because it isn't really about ballet, or even dancing very much. I give this book FIVE STARS!
Well worth the read.......2007-04-12
Award-winning author Han Nolan again captures our full attention in Dancing on the Edge.
Not many people can claim to have been born after their mother was killed in a car accident, and not many people can claim that their father was a child novelist prodigy at age 13--but Miracle McCloy can.
But when Miracle's father, Dane "melts away," as Grandmother Gigi puts it, and the neighbors begin making trouble for the small family due to Gigi's involvement in the occult, Gigi and Miracle leave town and move in with Gigi's ex husband, Granddaddy Opal. For the first time in Miracle's life, thanks to Granddaddy Opal, she gets a chance to be a child and pursue her own interest, dancing.
Yet all of the problems with the adults in her life and her inability to face reality cause Miracle to follow in Gigi's footsteps in the occult, leading her to practice on her classmates. But when a student accuses Miracle of being fake, she sets herself on fire and ends up as a patient in a mental hospital. Inevitably Miracle learns through her psychiatrist, Dr. DeAngelis, the coping methods to change her life and stop living in the past.
Dancing on the Edge is a powerful novel filled with a bevy of unique characters and difficult topics that challenge the reader to stick with this book. While I enjoyed Miracle, Granddaddy Opal and Gigi, I also felt that much of the true intent of the story was lost on the quirkiness of the characters. There never seemed to be a person of reason in Miracle's life until Dr DeAngelis and by then, Miracle has spent most of her life, and a better part of this book, in the shadow of her parent's past and her eccentric family members lifestyles.
All that set aside, Dancing on the Edge is worth the read. You can't beat Ms. Nolan's writing ability in facing issues such as mental illness, suicide and the occult.
Armchair Interviews says: Lots of life's challenges all in one book.
Thoughtful and elegant.......2007-02-14
Every teenager should read this book, adults should not be fooled or harbor denial that teens don't know about these things... and this story will give them a hopeful perspective. For those of you concerned with issues involved, this book is a breath of fresh air compared to the unresolved atrocities of war and human suffering kids are routinely exposed to on the news - which of course usually offers no constructive resolution or hope. This book teaches that we are not alone, asking for help is OK and that hope does exist and can be found from within.
Dancing Off Your Seat.......2006-06-09
This book review is about the book Dancing on the Edge. It was a great young adult novel by Han Nolan. I liked this book a lot. The reasons are it had great writing and the author's descriptive writing is very good.
The describing of everything was very good. It was very intense but good intense. The main character was very depressed and I liked how the author described how sad she got and what she did. She also described how she fought and screamed and had to go to a mental facility. Another example of how the author described was when the author described when she dances. The author described the girl dancing by when she hits herself against the wall and goes crazy but the girl loves to dance. The author uses a lot of adjectives and I think that is amazing.
The other reason why I like this book is how good the writing is. The author uses good vocabulary and makes sense. Some books that I read do not make sense and are confusing. This book made sense and if I got confused I would read it more carefully and I would get it. In the writing, I also liked how the author told how the girl felt. It was so cool how she really made her feeling seem real. Han Nolan is an amazing author.
Dancing on the Edge was a great book and I think many people should read it. I loved the author's descriptiveness and her writing. Dancing on the Edge will make you dance.

Customer Reviews:
I LOVED THIS BOOK.......2000-04-02
I've read are a lot of collections of "spiritual" Jewish stories, but this one was so warm and so loving, it is my favorite of all --the stories cover a wide range and touch so many bases --the gentle, the powerful,the learned, the easily accessible, the tender, the compelling, the "tear your heart out." I especially like how the book seems to encompass all of Jewish history, from the Torah, the Ethics of the Fathers, the ancient rabbis to the present moment. The Holocaust material was brilliant. The Israeli poems (" A Soldier's Sabbath") was extraordinarily moving. The sense of "Shabat" in the book is nearly palpable. There is a story, "Jacob who loves the Sabbath," about a father and his autistic child that touched me to the quick, and another about a learning disabled child that was overwhelming. I bought three copies so I could give my daughter and my parents a copy! I would love to see more such books from this author!
Do you laugh or cry?.......2000-03-08
After reading "Dancing,"I realized the book had been such a special experience,I owed it to the editor and to all the contributors to review it.I have loved this book. Using poems, midrash, personal experiences, stories, commentaries, it covers such a vast range of the Jewish experience -- from the ancient rabbis to the world of the shtetl to the horrors of the Holocaust to everyday Israeli life and everyday life in America, so much of our Jewish Story, told so beautifully. What an impressive list of contributors -- from some of the country's most prominent rabbis to poets like Israelis Yehuda Amichai and Nava Semel (I nearly wept at "A Soldier's Sabbath"), and Alicia Ostriker and Irena Klepfisz; there are several very touching and illuminating stories by Paysach Krohn,a storytelling mohel whose work I loved, and by Rabbi Ed Feinstein, about which ditto. Michael Lerner, Karen Golden, Sarah Graff, Harold Schulweis, Richard Levy, Bradley Shavit Artson -- works you can't forget; they keep echoing in my heart. I shouldn't really mention individual names, because so many of them are so memorable and it's hard to choose my favorites -- The title story by Miriyam Glazer, for example, affected me a great deal because I, too, have thought a lot about my name, and Aryeh Cohen's piece, even though parts were difficult for me, was in the end so powerful because I have a baby daughter too. And the two stories that relate to a place called "Beit Tshuvah" -- a Los Angeles halfway house for Jewish criminals, addicts, and alcoholics --are extraordinary. I would like to meet Harriet Rossetto! The three beautifully written and sensitive contributions by rabbinical students (all of which are radically different from one another!) made me feel really optimistic about the future of Judaism in this country! wrote about I've read a lot of Jewish "spiritual" books -- but because of the quality of the stories and poems in "Dancing," this book will be my companion for a long time! Thanks, editor and writers for a wonderful wonderful book.
what an inspiring book.......2000-03-05
I got this book as a gift and it has been just such a joy to read! The stories range from the lighthearted to the really gripping, and make you see life a whole new way. I felt my spirit really touched. I have loved every minute of it and I recommend it highly, particularly for Jewish readers.
What a joyful read!.......2000-03-04
I ordered this book at the recommendation of a friend, and I couldn't put it down -- read it from cover to cover at the first reading. It was so moving. Eloquent, is the word that comes to mind. I landed up wanting to order a dozen more for a Passover gift for friends/family. "Dancing on the Edge of the World" is a wonderful book -- Reading it is so inspiring. Miriyam Glazer and all her authors have done a great job -- the stories are truly wonderful. Some of the authors I knew well, many of them I hadn't been aware of. I like, too, how trans-denominational it clearly is -- Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, secular, feminist, traditional -- all the voices are in it. IT MADE ME FEEL VERY PROUD OF MY HERITAGE!

Christianity Without Guilt, Hypocrisy or Oppression.......2000-12-09
Holloway begins this book by stating that it's purpose is to "make a space for people who think of themselves as being on the edge of Christianity". In some senses, that sentence sums up the book, in other senses, it does not.
From the point of view of this amateur theologian, Holloway is simply expounding the best of modern Christian theology, albeit from a "liberal Christian" point of view. However, I am well aware from personal experience that many people do not know that it is possible to be a Christian without (quoting Holloway) having "...imposed upon them burdens of guilt and hypocrisy...and oppression." If Holloway's own description resonates with you, then this is definitely a book you will want to read.
Subject matter covered includes: the existence of God, the incarnation, biblical fundamentalism, human suffering, sex, marriage, divorce and homosexuality, Christian community, Christian ethics and the role of the church in today's world.
Holloway is the former Anglican Bishop of Edinburgh and I believe (although am not entirely certain) that he has now returned to university lecturing in Theology.

Book Description
At forty-one, Juanita Lewis is running away from home, courtesy of a one-way ticket to Montana, a place that seems about as far away from the violence and poverty of the Columbus, Ohio, projects as the moon. She wants adventure and excitement–if such things exist for a pre-menopausal African American woman with three grown, deadbeat children.
Juanita’s new life in Paper Moon, Montana, begins at a local diner where a culinary face-off with chef and owner Jess Gardiner finds Juanita in front of Jess’s stove serving up home cookin’ that lures the townsfolk like a magic spell. And suddenly Juanita, who was just passin’ through, now has a job by popular demand.
Out here in this wide-open space, Juanita’s heart can no longer hide, especially when she sees herself through the eyes of the wonderful and eccentric people of this down-to-earth town. She’s happy in Paper Moon; she’s found a home, but can she stay? And then there’s Jess. She has always dreamed of romance, but she never planned on falling in love.

Great read!.......2007-10-08
This book is a short, quick read but a great story of a middle aged woman with the courage to pack her bags, leave her grown butt kids and put herself first for once in her life. In the process she finds herself. Great story.
What We Fear, We Create..........2005-11-28
I am sure many of us have heard this Dr. Phil-ism. I believe it is true in all its forms--self-fulfilling prophecies and such. DANCING ON THE EDGE OF THE ROOF is a simple, straight-forward book, and readers will benefit from its eloquence. Exaggerated, overblown writing may have its place, but Sheila Williams' first book will have a place in your spirit. Strip away the main character's (Jaunita Louis') skin color, occupation, neighborhood--all of the superficial things that can separate us from her story, and we will see ourselves. Facing the same challenges. On the same journey toward fulfillment.
What I got from DANCING ON THE EDGE OF THE ROOF was a lesson: Do everything you fear to do. Get locks or a long weave, if you must. Learn to merengue. Take a trip to northern China. Study at an institution for culinary arts or interior design. Take your vacation in Fiji. Have a baby at 40. Get your MBA at 54. Do it all, because this is the only life we get. Even those who believe in a second life cannot be sure, so we ought to make the best of this world, this life's opportunities.
I was reminded that I cannot blame anyone but me if I don't take those chances in life that will, in the end, make me the best form of myself that I can achieve.
Good For The Soul.
Dancing on the Edge..........2005-10-19
I loved it. If you ever thought about breaking away to a fresh start...read this book. Dancing on the Edge of the Roof takes hold of the reader and never lets go. You can't wait to see what Juanita gets into next. Ride along with her on each adventure and take a moment to enjoy nature the way Mother Nature intended. What a romance! The ending leaves you feeling completely satisfied, yet ironically waiting anxiously for a sequel. I highly recommend this book for the mature and exciting women of today.

I loved this story.......2005-08-20
This story was well written, and I enjoyed the characters very much. I would like to have seen more love scenes and interactions though.
Dancing on the Edge of Self Discovery.......2005-07-27
When I decided to purchase this book I thought I was getting a light read. You know, something that would titillate my senses. What I didn't expect was to read a book that would instead titillated my imagination and personal desire to explore my own dreams.
This book is more about self discovery and love of one's self than love of another. It also encourages one to reach for that star/brass ring or else you may never find out who you truly are or were meant to be.
Basically, the story is about Juanita; a 42 year old mother of three who decides to take an "adventure" before it's to late. On a whim she decides to go to Paper Moon, Montana where she meets some strange but nice people and how they end up sharing their lives with one another.
As I read, I felt the overbearing suffication that Juanita - the main female character - felt when she was living in Ohio and the "breath" she took when she moved to Montana. I loved her interaction with the other characters - especially Jesse - and found myself laughing out loud during different events.
The only reasons I did not give it a 5 was the author - who did such a wonderful job discribing Paper Moon, Montana and it's surroundings that I actually tried to see if there really were such a place - could have gone so much further in certain parts and characters such as the "Pow Wow", Millie - the owner of the bed and breakfast, and definitely Juanita and Jesses' romance that it left me hanging and a bit unsatisfied.
Overall, an enjoyable read.

Thanks Charly.......2006-01-30
In 2002 I had the privilege of meeting Charly on a raft trip down the Colorado River. I purchased this book that summer but just now got around to reading it. The old saying "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear" comes to mind.
I am struggling with my life path right now. I know what I have to do, or at least I think I know, but I am fighting myself. I picked up Charly's book and read it this weekend. It reminded me of my happiness that wonderful summer four years ago when we spent two weeks on the river. It also forced me to rethink the struggle going on inside of me now.
I need to align the direction I am going with the feelings I have inside so I can become a stronger person. Thanks Charley, for the wonderful reminder and for the food for thought.
Insight in magnificent setting.......1999-08-09
I was enthralled by Dancing on the Edge. The author managed to combine gripping descriptions of exciting experiences and magnificent scenery with deep and meaningful insights into the human spirit. I do not read "inspirational" books. I find most of them shallow and dull. This one not only inspired, it enchanted. I will read it again and again.
I have found my "Power Spot" in Dancing on the Edge........1999-07-26
I purposely took a long time to read Dancing on the Edge. Partly because I didn't want to leave this wonderful, serene place and partly because I wanted to enjoy and digest every savory bite. I've underlined SO MUCH and I will keep this book close by to help remind me of its many fantastic life lessons. Charly, thank you for sharing your gift with us.
The author spoke directly from his heart to mine!.......1999-06-14
All of us share this journey, different life experiences, but a common bond. Charly Heavenrich has captured many rich emotions and this book swept me up in it's embrace, much as I'm sure his beloved river captivated him. I have learned from Charly Heavenrich, and his "Spirit Dancer".
An inner-outer journey!.......1999-03-04
Most of us would think of trekking through the Grand Canyon to be an outer journey. Charly brings it one step further by exploring the Canyon as an outer *and* inner journey. Be prepared for the unavoidable inspiration to experience the Canyon for yourself after reading this book!
