When an old boyfriend kisses Valerie and her marriage of neglect reaches a crescendo, she realizes she’s been lying to herself about being in love with her husband.

With two special-needs kids, an anxious dog, and a knack for unparalleled worry, acknowledging what she wants feels like a betrayal of the life she hoped to lead. But now that her eyes have been opened, can she continue to lead a life of lies and heartbreak?

You Can't Dance a Lie is a frank and irreverent look at depression and finding the love of your life, as told through the mistakes and mishaps of an ex-military-turned-hippy single mom obsessed with India, ecstatic dance, and lists.

She discovers that self-honesty, loyalty gone wrong, and believing in yourself can be the things that ultimately lead you to the life you've always wanted.
