Charleston, SC, May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Novelist Sherry Hartzler knows women\u2019s stories matter<\/a>, which is why she is passionate about reading and writing stories about women, particularly women over the age of forty, who have lived long enough to recognize the wisdom that comes with life experience. And her latest novel is no exception. Centered on a middle-aged woman who has spent her life trying to outrun the pain of her past, \u201cDance of Survival\u201d is the story of an ordinary family shattered by a tragic accident. \u201cMy passion is writing books that elicit deep human emotions laced with humor,\u201d Hartzler says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In \u201cDance of Survival,\u201d protagonist Bethann is reunited with her estranged siblings after their father\u2019s death. Confronted by painful memories, she is forced to reconcile with the emotional abandonment of her mother, who couldn\u2019t fathom the destruction of her all-American family, and her own emotional state as well as her siblings, who were each left to choreograph their separate dance of survival in the wake of their younger brother\u2019s death decades before. Exploring themes of sibling relationships and rivalry, grief, alcoholism, abandonment issues, and a yearning for normalcy, Hartzler\u2019s moving narrative reflects the emotional journey that comes with true healing and illustrates the redemptive power of forgiveness. \u201cThe story takes readers through the tough issues of a family surviving a great tragedy and decades later coming face-to-face with the monsters under the bed,\u201d Hartzler says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDance of Survival\u201d is available for purchase on Amazon.com<\/a> and BarnesandNoble.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
