Dani, the protagonist and narrator of To Dance with Ugly People, whose world is consistently turned upside down starts writing letters to: To Whom It May Concern, because she finds herself thrust into a dangerous and frightening world of gripping truths as she fights for her life and the love she deserves that for most of her life many have not had the ability to return her the favor.
REVIEWS:
Where do I begin?? This story is told through letters from Dani's youth all the way into her adulthood. The author, Lorene Stunson Hill, portrays all of the struggles that her character suffered as a child including abandonment and resentment. As she grows older, life challenges her even more with desperation when her world is shaken by the Detroit Riots of 1967, fear and unrequited loneliness leads her to feeling hopeful as she moves to Orlando, Florida living in low income housing as a single Mother, but she has the courage and strength to carry on. She still believes that someone is out there who can give her the only thing that she has always searched for, true affection and respect toward the woman she has become. The author, Lorene Stunson Hill, wants her readers to understand the pain and hardships that plagued Dani's life so that you can understand her strength and the measures she took to find happiness. Both men and women can read this because this story does not have a specific gender preference. While the story is written in a series of letters by Dani, the main character, it is by no means too feminine. I give this book five stars because it was very well written and creative. There is so much raw talent that is encompassed into this novel; therefore, I was unable to put it down and I enjoyed having learned some new depths of life...

Great read! I enjoyed this story. The author Ms. Hill, has an excellent way of "drawing you in" to the story. Very well done! I felt emotion as I read it and the To whom it may concern piece, really had me connecting with the primary character!

Thought Provoking Read! To Dance with Ugly People really drew me in with the author's concept of basing each 'chapter' of life on an African dance. I found this to be a thought provoking, emotional and a very clever read.

An emotive and memorable read! This is an emotional and captivating novel, which is cleverly written. It is formatted using a unique style that enables the author to portray stories relating to some of the struggles of daily life for the main character Dani and the heartache endured. As it covers emotive subjects like drug abuse, and abusive relationships, it is obvious that the author has invested emotionally in this book and this gives it a sense of honesty and integrity. It is an intense read in parts and is an enjoyable book to read.
