'"Aren't you tired of a past littered with escapes? Think about the woman you're becoming!" Leonie said, trying to prevent Cassie's flight. "You could be going from the frying pan into the fire."
'The past denied and her dance championship dreams discarded, Cassie Sleight leaves home. In the seemingly idyllic coastal town of Keimera, she starts a career on the English staff of the local high school. Exposure to Mark Talbut, a man struggling to be modern yet threatened by power shifts in the workplace and in society, causes Cassie to assess her reactions as a woman and a teacher. As she does so, the secrets of her past surface. Will that past continue to choreograph Cassie's present steps? What sort of woman does she become?' (Publication summary)
Epigraph:
Life:
strands of colour,
separate yet interwoven.
Each hue
influences the weaving,
defines the other.
A complex tapestry:
indiscernible when close;
recognisable only at a distance.
