Tap Dancing on a Hot Skillet

Tap Dancing on a Hot Skillet is a coming-of-age story about growing up in a Jewish family of six in the Deep South of the 1950s and ’60s. The author brings characters to life with a keen sense of visual detail, southern wit, and an authentic adolescent voice. Using a combination of personal stories set against a backdrop of cultural context—the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, and pop culture references of films and music (from Elvis to the Beatles)—she creates a scaffolding by which to hang the evolving angst of the ’60s contrasted with the naiveté of the ’50s told through the eyes of a young person caught at the center.
