"House of Dance" by Beth Kephart is a poignant tale that follows the journey of a young girl named Lila as she navigates the complexities of loss, healing, and self-discovery. After the death of her mother, Lila finds solace and connection in the dance studio where her mother taught. Through dance, she channels her grief and begins to understand her own identity. The narrative explores themes of family, resilience, and the transformative power of art as Lila forms new relationships and confronts her emotions, ultimately discovering her place in the world and the enduring bond with her mother's memory.
