Adam is grief stricken after watching his older brother, Tommy, slowly wither and die. Drinking too much, he has quit playing music and driven away his longtime girlfriend. His best friend and former bandmate, Mark, invites Adam on a work trip to South Dakota’s Badlands, hoping to remind Adam that it’s OK to experience joy.  On the road, Mark takes drastic action to reignite Adam’s passions, but Adam grows concerned watching as Mark uses drugs and spends money with childish abandon. When the beautiful Bianca enters the picture, Adam’s dark shell finally begins to crack, but her presence shifts the dynamic. Long buried secrets between Mark and Adam begin to surface, and pretense drops after Mark admits he has ulterior motives. Confessions fly and external circumstances start a ticking clock, forcing Adam to choose between new love and an old friend.Set in the stoic expanse of the American heartland and awash in comedic banter and beautiful prose, A Ballroom for Ghost Dancing is a story that is both hilarious and heartbreaking about the value of friendship in the face of loss, and the hidden tragedies that we all have awaiting us, whether we are ready to confront them or not.
