Synopsis

Saving the Best Dance for Last tells the story of a young woman whose childhood experiences drove her into a circle that is one of the oldest professions in history, but the most unregulated social accretions in the world. Even though she was born and raised in the church, she was abandoned because of her conduct that didn?t meet the standards of her religious community. And because of those childhood experiences she shares the emotional burdens of finding herself being trapped in an environment of deceit, loneness, rejection, anger, and depression. But after experiencing different levels of emotional turmoil, she hungers to find her way back home to Christ, and learning to know a greater peace that no man can give. Saving the Best Dance for Last offers solutions for people healing from emotional burdens of going through life hiding behind the mask of religious showcasing, and telling the truth of the emotion distress caused by living life behind the death of a parent, sexual and mental abuse, and religious abandonment, but in the end, learning the lesson of life that healing the scares within starts within ourselves.
