Two women, two generations, two weddings. Dancing at the Colony takes the reader through the lives of strong Maine women, the bonds of deep friendship, DNA discoveries, and love with a twist.

The vast ocean beyond the ledge of Oyster Cove beckons Prudence Stone from her salt-sprayed art studio. Her six-year marriage to Nick Pelletier is deteriorating faster than the Maine weather, and the lure of Italy is strong. Reaching out to her adopted Italian family, she is caught in a web of her own making.

Before her tears are fully spent, Prudence Stone is on a plane heading to Maine. The timely inheritance, a seaside cottage located in what appears to be a backwater town void of romantic temptations, promises to be the panacea for her broken heart. But Hannah Ellison had a different idea when she bequeathed the salt-encrusted albatross to her great-granddaughter, causing Prudence to seek a balance between her former island life and a lonely existence in Maine. Torn from the beginning, she is then challenged by the very different personalities of Hannah's two best friends; one dotty, the other ornery. These widows of Thatcher Lane both comfort and confuse and pull her in different directions. But it is the stranger's face nestled within Hannah's silver locket that tugs the hardest; that is, until Prudence finds the letters.

It's the eighties and Lily Harmon, newly single, embarks on a journey that lands her in the Caribbean. As she waits out the hurricane of the century on the island of St. Margeaux, Lily faces her fears by mentally walking through the accidental adventures that have become her life, all beginning with her arrival on the island of Puerto Rico. Swept into the arms of a Latin pilot, she had quickly discovered not only the natural beauty of the region, but also the very compelling joy of life without a guide. In the warm, sultry climate friendships thrive, romances flourish, and Lily's island odyssey is born.
