Willa Drake's life unfolded from milestone to milestone. 1967: she's a schoolgirl trying to come to terms with her mother's sudden disappearance. 1977: student Willa is proposed to. 1997: a young widow tries to piece together her life shattered into fragments. 2017: Willa longs to become a grandmother but isn't sure it will happen. "Is that all? Was that really my life?" Willa asks herself. She had already accepted that her dreams remained dreams when a strange phone call comes—a stranger makes an unusual offer. Without understanding her sudden impulse, Willa rushes across the country to care for a young woman she's never met, her little daughter, and their dog. This impulsive decision leads Willa into a world of eccentric people who treat each other like family, and it is there she unexpectedly finds peace, comfort, and the fulfillment of her desires. "Klok-Dance" is a witty, funny, and slightly bitter novel about hopes and sudden changes, about how fate spins us in its dance, and by dancing this klok-dance, we seem to turn back time to finally find our way to ourselves. And then, like Willa Drake, we can see ourselves as if from the outside: "She sees herself as a little figure... running across the globe, floating through space."
