IN THE PRESS

“

“In a world of Nicholas Sparks wannabes, there are an infinite number of ways to get a tear-jerking romance wrong. Ka Hancock’s lovely, heartbreaking debut novel, Dancing on Broken Glass, shows off a great way to get it right…. She grounds her emotionally wrenching situations in beautifully detailed characters—including the amazing interplay between Lucy and her two sisters—and uses her background in nursing to provide compelling texture for the medial dramas. As those characters struggle to understand the connection between love and mortality. Hancock fills her pages with a rich, optimistic spirituality that never feels oppressive. Get ready for a good, cleansing cry built on real, tangled humanity rather than forced tragedy.”

"Hancock’s debut is an authentic tearjerker—an intimate and touching story that will remain in readers’ hearts."
