Set in the turbulent, colorful
1970’s, What We Set in Motion finds the daughter of a prominent old
South Carolina Lowcountry family fleeing to New York’s Greenwich
Village in pursuit of a dance career. Cut off by her disapproving
father and abandoned by her would-be fiancé, Nadine Carter Barnwell
must strive on her own to beat the harrowing odds. Penniless and
surrounded by the temptation of dubious money-making schemes and the
bitter disappointment of seeing a friend fall prey to them, Nadine
battles fiercely for her place in the ultra-competitive world of
dance — only to reluctantly step away to please a man. It takes the
loving, mystical intervention of her beloved aunt back in South
Carolina and an unexpected letter from a young girl to set Nadine’s
chaotic life firmly on the path to fulfillment and the startling
realization that every encounter and each choice is a milestone in
the quest to forge her own destiny.
“It’s not easy to achieve the beautiful balance of this cover, with
its carefully set type and simple illustration style. Focused and
calm, yet with a clear line into the novel’s story.”
