Description
Author Angela Bomford’s childhood in Wallasey, England, was filled with air raids, bombs, and gas masks. In A Time to Dance, Bomford recalls her adventures as a young Christian as she struggles to break into show business in 1950s England. Tragedy and comedy follow her across Europe, where she has a peek behind the Iron Curtain and adventures in Paris and Vienna. She narrates how failed romance triggers serious self-doubt—until her walk with the Lord leads her to a deep, lifelong romance with the man she had a crush on as a young teenager. A whirlwind courtship takes her across the Atlantic Ocean to Peru, Panama, and the United States. From working as an assistant stage manager in England to acting on movie sets in Florida, this true story brings both a lump to the throat and laughter to the lips. With photos included, A Time to Dance, Bomford shares her life story, giving insight into growing up against the backdrop of World War II, working in show business, and placing her life in the hands of the Lord.
