2026 Selah Award Finalist
Dancing Toward Forever has been recognized as a 2026 Selah Award finalist-celebrating heartfelt storytelling, faith, hope, and unforgettable characters readers can't stop thinking about.
Brooke wasn't looking for love-until one chaotic, coffee-fueled evening in New York introduced her to Emmett. What follows is a slow-burn, faith-filled romance about grief, grace, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.
At Grand Central Station, a rogue skateboard nearly takes Brooke out, her tote goes flying, and a guy with a guitar catches it one-handed-right as a very important cat in a leash-and-briefcase situation struts by. Minutes later her sister returns with coffee labeled Cinnamon Toast Cruncherson. Welcome to Brooke's life: chaos, carbs, and a meet-cute she cannot stop thinking about.Brooke used to believe ballet could hold all her broken pieces together. But after losing her best friend, even the studio feels sharp around the edges. Then she hears him again-the guitar guy from the station-leading worship at her sister's church. Emmett is steady, kind, and the first person who makes her wonder if hope might be real...and if God might be closer than she thinks.
As rehearsals for The Nutcracker intensify and old grief resurfaces, Brooke has to choose between control that's slowly crushing her and a love that invites her to breathe. Emmett is fighting his own battles with regret and calling-but when their worlds collide, it feels like grace with a soundtrack.
