". . . it's not only touching
but also wise — and funny."

Betty Auchard
clearly has a passion for story-telling. She is a gifted writer who
evokes tears and humor from one moment to the next. Dancing in My
Nightgown is a marvelous tale of a woman’s journey from loss
to wholeness.

"We think
of audience with a book, but if a book is about being human and celebrating
the human spirit, there will of course be no limits to its audience...."

My favorite line is “It’s
the act of putting my grief on the line that keeps Denny here a little
longer.” Quite moving. It’s virtually seamless. Very easy
to read. And you cover all that sad, sad stuff without ever getting
maudlin. So well balanced. Truly wonderful reading. Heavy emotional
content without going over the top in the least.

Anyone who’s lost a
loved one will relate to the many wonderful moments in Betty Auchard’s
wise and funny book. These bittersweet reflections on widowhood will
make you smile and make you cry. Best of all, Auchard helps us realize
that we’re never really alone in our grieving, and that it’s
OK to remember our loved ones’ foibles as well as their shining
qualities. These pages cheer the spirit and soothe the soul.

The charming and entrancing series
of stories in the everyday life of a recent widow could serve as a guide
to successful and fulfilling life after a long-term relationship for
anyone, male or female…only the activities might be different.
