"One of the first things I did when Aubrey and I were in bed together was break his rib."
This is but one of the many absurd happenings that occur when two widowers in their mid-sixties, one from the North and one from the South, unexpectedly meet and eventually marry. The unlikely, quirky success of their relationship, despite dissimilar personalities and huge doses of stubbornness, is the basic ingredient of Dancing in High Cotton.
Writing with wry humor, Babette Williams chronicles the couple's adventures-and misadventures-as they blend their lives, survive several moves, and learn to age gracefully. In spite of clutter, miscommunication, and even tragedy, the moral of the story is that life's not over unless you decide not to live it. Readers discover, along with the author, that laughter and fun go a long way, and that truth and honesty are the cornerstones of a good relationship at any age.
