Collie, born deaf mute, through her handicap becomes a blessing and useful tool to help others. In her struggle to fit in, she finds sorrow, happiness, and unconditional love. Collie becomes a sign-language teacher and meets Isaiah in one of her classes. He is from the Old Order Amish culture, living in Shipshewana, Indiana. He is losing his hearing and wants to teach his family to sign for better communication. The Amish people have a simple piety. "A desire to be faithful to God." Collie and Isaiah's story continues on with many directional changes. My prayer as you read this story is that God will use it to help you understand that any form of handicap and being different, whether in dress, culture, or physical handicap, is a struggle for many people. For He Himself has said. "I will never leave you or forsake you." KJV "The book shows an intimacy of Amish life that is rare, a story that made me laugh out loud, shed a tear, and turn page after page. Easy to love." -Mark Schuyler, production reviews, Paramount Pictures

Follow along on Candy's life journey and see how she learns of all of God's blessings, not only in times of abundance, but more importantly, in the deepest and darkest times. From beginning to end, you will see how she was sure her life was complete, until she had her son, Austin, who, unknowingly at the time of his birth, would be a true blessing despite his multiple disabilities. Through her reflections and life story, you will see how she went from a nonbeliever to a born-again Christian, through God's unwavering love, forgiveness, and grace. He was constantly "pulling" her to Him throughout life's scenarios. At the time, she may have shaken it off as a coincidence, but she soon realized it was God showing her how she can be blessed even through the most raging storms in life. He was preparing her for the life He laid out for her and her family to raise a child with disabilities. You will hear her crying out to God in fear and anger as she tries to understand His reasoning for allowing her precious son to have these disabilities, which at times seemed like the enemy himself was in total control. You will read about her husband and daughter whom God knew she needed and who could work together to give Austin the best life possible, even with the sometimes-daily seizures and at times pure rage. See how, throughout her life, she became a believer, and even with Kerry and Kaylynn's love and support, she had to find the strength elsewhere to get up each and every day to be the best mom she could be for Austin. Read how still to this day, she struggles with negative emotions and guilt and needs to be reminded often that God is in control, and He will never forsake her, even when she feels she is alone. Her story is the meaning of the title of her book, as she had to completely and totally learn to rely on God and allow Him to lead her and her family's journey of living with disabilities, which she calls the Austin dance.
