A coming-of-age novel set in Southern Oregon and the world of the Grateful Dead.

Daisy is Rashia's mother, who gave birth to her at a Grateful Dead show. Rashia was raised on a communal farm that grew its own organic food, gave its kids Kerouac, Huxley, and Thoreau to read, taught them to smoke pot, and took them on tours with The Dead.Rashia abruptly loses the only life she?s known when her father decides it's time to join the real world and transports the family to a small Oregon town where he buys a house and opens a store. Dancing Within the Song explores the wrenching rite of passage that all too many of today's young people go through and does so in the context of an unusual setting as Rashia runs away from home and goes back to following The Dead.
