Deni Sparks,a twenty-something artist, has just inherited a cottage by the lake-as long as
she'll live in it for three months. Eager to leave behind an ex-fiance and to build her dream
business, Deni moves in. Shane Anderson, a neighbor and architect, has designs on the same property, which will revert to him if Deni moves out before her three months are up. Can they learn to follow their hearts to trust God and each other, when someone is trying deperately to drive Deni out of the cottage?
A Time to Dance will reawaken all those doubts you had just before your first date showed up. What if he doesn't show up? Will he like my hair? Did I put the corsage on the right side? A Time to Dance is about trust-how we earn it, how we give it-both to other people and to God. This is an inspirational romance reminiscent of Grace Livingston Hill, but set in modern times with fresh characters. Diana Brandmeyer keeps the action moving. We know who's trying to drive Deni and Shane apart, and the suspense comes from wondering if he'll succeed or if Deni can overcome her mistrust to begin another relationship. It's a short novel, and like one of the characters, it's one you can keep in your own daughter's dance bag to read while she's in classs.

New Man in Town, Love Inspired
Diana Lesire Brandmeyer has written a compelling novel that revives our own spirit of faith and hope. "A Time to Dance" intrigues and keeps a reader turning pages, only to sigh in regret that such a charming tale has come to an end.

Very Highly Reommended
Diana Brandmeyer has written a love story that everyone can relate to. This is a story of hope
and trust. Deni and Shane and the readers of this book know that with God and love all things are possible.
Reveiwed by Pasty Cobb, Under the Covers
Diana Brandmeyer has written a sensitive story that is an asset to the inpirational romance sub-genre. She has shown that romance in it's most innocent form can awaken passion in two
people who are so meant to be together. Her heroine has strong religious beliefs and an open relationship with God, and is able to communicate that relationship through her actions, not only her words. I thoroughly enjoyed A Time To Dance and wish Diana all the best in her future
writings.
