Book One: Beginnings And Then She Danced

Linda Serafina is a normal 15-year-old girl in the fall of 1973 who loves to go to the skating rink on Friday nights. One Friday night, she meets a mysterious boy her age named Rusty who knows how to skate backward and perform other dance-type moves with her and magically gets her to follow. He mysteriously disappears later and she never sees him again, yet when she goes to college, she accepts a part-time job in a dream research lab where she slips into a vivid dream where she and Rusty dance together divinely in a heavenly ballroom. As the years go by, she meets another exciting young man named Scott and earns her nursing license, yet her heart longs for Rusty to the point where she decides to learn ballroom dancing on her own to try to rekindle the feelings she experienced in her dream. Will Scott help her to appreciate what is right in front of her, or will she continue her dreams of dancing?
