Twenty-seven-year-old Frieda Zweig is at an
impasse. Behind her is a string of failed relationships and half-forgotten ambitions
of being a painter; in front of her lies the dreary task of finding a real job
and figuring out what “normal” people do with their lives. Then, a classified
ad in the local paper introduces Frieda to Gladys, an elderly woman who long
ago gave up on her dreams of being a dancer.

The catch?
Gladys is a ghost.

In Dance, Gladys,
Dance, Cassie Stocks tells the uplifting story of a woman whose
uncanny connection with a kindred spirit causes her to see her life in a new
way—as anything but ordinary.
