    About this ebook

    The Dance of Dawn is an expressive piece of art - so volatile, so wholesome and so thought-provoking. The pieces beg to be read more than once. The writer expertly employs techniques to bring to life her choice of topics and themes.

    There is something in it for everyone, especially those ones who enjoy issues that tickle the intellect.

    Reading 'The Dance of Dawn' is a rollercoaster ride through the streets of spirit, death, love, humanity, and a higher calling - practically an array of life's essential energies!

    Star Precious Okpeh, in her book, does a splendid job of unravelling things that are far removed from the common human touch.

    She describes the surpassing beauty of woman thus:

    'See, thou has shamed the petals of rose

    Created to sting at the centre of Eden'......

    ....'Spicy soup of loving grace'...

    Such epithets dot the pages of the book with a robust voice that promises to open even the firmest of doors.

    Immerse yourself in the beauty of this dance that takes place at dawn. You'll find out that Dusk still finds you in a dancing mood!
