CONTROVERSIAL,STUNNING AND PASSIONATE NOVEL, "TO DANCE WITH UGLY PEOPLE,"DEPICTS THE DAMAGE HUMANS CAN INFLICT ON ONE ANOTHER:Lake Helen, FL: Bestselling African American Women's Fiction author, Lorene Stunson Hill, energizes the readers with passion and feelings; liberates the readers minds to become aware of the struggles of others outside of what we perceive on a daily basis. Lorene Stunson Hill promises to make an impact as she eloquently guides you through this journey of life, hope and despair. The story lines range from heartfelt tenderness to explosive reality. Dani Marie Dobson's story exhibits the good sensitively, the bad as the reality of life and the ugly as things we hope will never happen to us. It is sure to be a hit with both men and women of all ages, college students and new adults alike.Where do I begin? This story is told through letters from Dani's youth all the way into her adulthood. The author, Lorene Stunson Hill, portrays all of the struggles that her character suffered as a child including abandonment and resentment. As she grows older, life challenges her even more with desperation when her world is shaken by the Detroit Riots of 1967, fear and unrequited loneliness leads her to feeling hopeful as she moves to Orlando, Florida living in low income housing as a single Mother, but she has the courage and strength to carry on. She still believes that someone is out there who can give her the only thing that she has always searched for, true affection and respect toward the woman she has become.The author, Lorene Stunson Hill, wants her readers to understand the pain and hardships that plagued Dani's life so that you can understand her strength and the measures she took to find happiness.Both men and women can read this because this story does not have a specific gender preference. While the story is written in a series of letters by Dani, the main character, it is by no means too feminine. I give this book five stars because it was very well written and creative. There is so much raw talent that is encompassed into this novel; therefore, I was unable to put it down and I enjoyed having learned some new depths of life...

By Melissa72 on April 18, 2015 This is a story told in a series of letters written by Dani,beginning in the year 1955 when she was just a small child of only 4 years old,and continues on through until the fall of 1983. Dani's story is raw and emotional in it's honesty and truth. Dani is forced to grow up early, with amother who left her in charge, basically abandoning her to raise her siblings and care for the household as a parent should. Dani suffers from abuse and neglect, not only as a child, but throughout this entire tale. I felt for this girl, I kept hoping that things would take a turn for her, kept looking for her silver lining. Dani eventually grows up to be a strong woman, with the courage to keep going, to keep striving, and believing that her true"someone" was out there, waiting to appreciate all that she has been through, and the person that she has become. It is hard to read through Dani's trials and tribulations, hard to look into the face of the hand that this poor girl was dealt. This author did an excellent job in crafting Dani and her story, and all of the characters that come in and out of her life and affect it. She makes you understand the pain and suffering that Dani goes through, and helps the reader to see how she comes to the point that she finally is at.

To my loving and patient step sister Deborah Ann Burnside Stunson Swint, who has always accepted me as I am and has gently reminded me for over twenty years, that I had a book to write. It is through her encouragement that I have finished this work of art.
Thank you, sweetheart

I would like to think that Mr. Chancelor Wiley and Ms. Dani Marie Dobson Ransom are together, living in that impressive White House with the White Picket Fence, gloriously in love.
