Ana Brassfield has her path to the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House all figured out until her first love, renowned German dancer Claus Gert, returns to Georgia to win her back. Despite a promising start toward her ballet career and pending marriage to landscape architect Peter Engberg, Ana wonders if her dreams of dancing at the Met are as impossible as her previous romantic relationship with Claus. Then an on-stage kiss between Ana and Claus changes everything.
Convinced the kiss is more than a one-time mistake, Peter breaks off their engagement. With an old dog crippled by arthritis and dreams deferred but not left behind, Ana moves to Germany to be with Claus. But the ghost of his late wife, Ana’s own feelings for Peter, and the pressure of earning a spot in a large ballet company are a high price for a shot at success. Ana seems on the verge of having everything she ever dreamed of, but will it be enough?

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: A Season to Dance
Book Author: Patricia Beal
What do you like about this book:
3.5 stars
"I cannot lose him again."
Beginning at what could be the end of a story is a risky venture for a debut, but in this case, it works beautifully, for the opening chapter sets the emotion tone for the entire story. In between graceful intensity, there deep pain resides and in spite of endless amounts of love, tragedy still manages to mar the melody. Certainly, and hopefully, there will be a "season to dance".
Ana Brassfield has worked tirelessly toward her goal of dancing onstage at New York's famed Metropolitan Opera House, and after a stunning performance of Romeo and Juliet in Georgia; paired with a renowned German dancer Claus Gert, she is optimistic about her future. However, in a cruel twist of fate, one kiss and some cleverly placed innuendos appear to have ruined everything.
As Ana and her used-to-be fiance Peter Engberg part ways, she rekindles a first love. But at what cost? It will take some very high highs and some very low lows for Ana to discover that there is a love above all loves that was born out of great sacrifice.
