Dréa’s Dream: An Unfinished Dance – Lessons of love, loss, hope, and healing
tells the inspiring story of a mother’s and daughter’s indomitable journey of triumph over childhood cancer and disabilities, only to face the ultimate challenge of unexpected loss. Neither Susan Rizzo Vincent, nor her only child Andréa, could have foretold the turn of events that tragically changed both of their lives forever and irreversibly. But just as dance was the driving force behind Andréa’s life, it has now become the same driving force in Susan’s as she fulfills Andréa’s lifelong goals and passion for dance through helping others.
Little did Susan know the lessons she would learn in furthering Andréa’s dreams, nor could she have ever imagined the hope and gifts such loss could bring. Dréa’s Dream: An Unfinished Dance also shares practical lessons learned about surviving the unthinkable and brings to light the power of dance to heal.
“Dréa’s Dream: An Unfinished Dance will empower parents facing the devastating news of their child’s cancer diagnosis as well as parents of any child facing disabilities. In addition, it offers inspiration to dancers, who know firsthand the therapeutic value of dance as a healing modality and to anyone who is looking for an inspiring story of a mother’s and daughter’s everlasting bond. For parents who have actually lost a child, this book provides a guiding light and offers help to find a reason to go on when such tragedy strikes.”
