Some women dream of running away. Sheryl dreams of saying no to her mother.

On the wrong side of thirty-five, Sheryl has lost her job, her home, and the will to fight back. She is wilting in a sea of whisky and American wrestling, rooting for Johnstone, a wrestler as believable as Die Hard.

Then she stumbles into belly dancing.

Sheryl is a natural. She dreams of performing, and when the wrestlers come to town, bringing her the chance to dance, she begins making plans.

Until her mother discovers them.

Sheryl has spent a lifetime letting her mother take centre stage. Now she has a chance to dance into her own.

Will she grab it, or toss her coin belt—and her dreams—to the wind?

Sheryl's Last Stand is the first novel in the Bellydancing and Beyond series, although each book can be enjoyed as a standalone. Perfect for readers of Marian Keyes, Maddie Please, and Judy Leigh, it is a warm, darkly funny novel about finding your voice and discovering it's never too late to take centre stage.
