The nineteen-year old held the baby at arms length. He didn't want the child. He only wanted his wife, Hanna. Baby Katherine represents Lowell Marshall's worst fears--alienation from his wife, responsibility, emotional commitment--poverty. He is forced through experiences of love and passion to evaluate why he is so fearful of the child. Why is he driven by the ghosts of the past?
Through years of agony and torture, Kate's fear, anger, and hatred of herself are directed toward him. She challenges him at every turn. Strength and weakness impel them. He drives her away.
In his cleared vision, he sees he has created his own worst enemy, a child in his own image. He is shocked to see the extent of the damage he has done. Through the events that unfold, he realizes there are only two things one can share, passion and fear.
Age sixty-seven, Dr. Lowell Marshall is in a coma, Katy by his side. Together they transcend the boundries of time and space and share the triumph of their relationship--transformation from anger and fear to love and passion for life.
Together father and daughter begin a communication of heart and spirit that is magical. Together they travel as one and share an intimate relationship of perception, revelation, and acceptance.
As Kate talks to her dad, there is a knowing for both of them that these inspired moments are the last they will ever share. With the acceptance comes immortality.
Dancing on Tears is a love story between a father and daughter, between parents and children of all ages. It is a story about life that touches the soul and heals the wounds of the heart. Believe--let your spirit soar free.
