By listening to this audiobook download instead of reading it on paper, I have found that I have been able to enjoy new aspects from my favorite author so much more.

I am going to die. Her death has been an inevitability ever since her heart was replaced with a clock and the doctor said that she would have to learn to live with its ticking.

Clock Dance is a story that begins with the call of the clock and ends in hope, but it's one that deals with tough issues like death, aging and loneliness. It also speaks to the importance of family, and how it shapes who we are.

When family members gathered for Thanksgiving dinner, they were late. In fact, they'd been so late that their turkey had been served and someone had already helped themselves to the cranberry sauce when they finally arrived.
