The Last Dance

The Last Dance

by Carmen Agra Deedy

Bessie and Ninny are the best of friends. Sometimes on milk-moon nights, they visit the grave of Ninny’s grandfather, Oppa. It was Oppa who taught them three things that they will never forget: to dance, to sing, and to tell stories. Oppa’s wisdom ultimately inspires a pact between the two young friends—a pact that binds them together through love and marriage, war and separation, birth and death.
