Telling the story of one perfect night when Sallie, Beau, and their family and friends dropped their cares and came together for some foot-tapping action, this rollicking tale re-creates the excitement of the dance hall. Set in the not-too-distant past, the story reveals the dance hall as the hub of the community in rural areas, a place where people of all ages gathered together to share news, enjoy each other's company, and support each other in trying times.

Reader reviewed by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, The Original H.I.R. (Historical Investigative Reporter)

Longing for the good old days? You can re-live them. Just pick up a copy of author Kelly Bennett's new book, Dance, Y'all, Dance, and you can re-claim those wonderful times--and dance the two-step in the process.

Dance, Y'all, Dance, is lovely through-and-through. It tells the story of that long-ago time in America when hard-working members of the community came together on a steamy Saturday night to share a little knee-slapping and foot-stomping with their favorite partners. That time when teen-age boys winked at the girls they liked, and the girls blushed red at the thought of doing the two-step with the boy of their dreams.

Bennett's style is lyrical and romantic, with just enough whimsy to whisk your mind back to yester-year. Terri Murphy's heart-warming illustrations have a bit of a "Norman Rockwell-ish" flavor that give readers that everybody's-welcome-at-the-dance feel. The result: A most unforgettable read.

So go on; hurry back to the good old days of barn-dancing on Saturday nights. Grab a copy of Dance, Y'all, Dance.
