"Lin has a husband, two daughters, close friends, and dance. Inexorably dance - both her passion and her profession - imposes itself on her, and finally the day comes when she has to choose between family life in a New England college town and a career on the world's leading stages. Slow Emergencies opens with an unforgettable scene of childbirth, evokes a world of loving connection between a woman, a man, and their children, and then describes an irresistible impulse to create a distance, and to depart.
Lin's inner turmoil is rendered with compassion and understanding, and Huston writes about the unfathomable workings of time, the joys and terrors of motherhood, the unspeakable solitude of artistic endeavor, the beauty and vulnerability of the human body, the power of natural cycles, and the enigmatic imprint of family destiny."--BOOK JACKET.
