| Beautiful & Sensitive Book About Friends, Love & Epilepsy Oct 12, 2002 |
| Mindy did an excellent job in writing this lovely book "A Dance in the Desert." I am very intrigued with new authors and always love reading their first novels. I must say that Mindy's command of words and ability to write about such a sensitive issue was phenomenal. This book you will not want to put down. As a reader, she made me aware of how people treat individuals that have epilepsy. I am ashamed of how individuals can be so insensitive. Her characters were wonderful and I was always cheering for their success. A worderful thing to note is that a portion of her profits are being donated to the Epilespy Foundation and I applaud her in her selfless efforts as a writer. |

| The search for love, happiness, and a stable home life Apr 10, 2002 |
| A Dance In The Desert by novelist Mindy Gibbins-Klein is a nicely crafted story of a man who searches for love, happiness, and a stable home life while coping with debilitating epilepsy. Set against the harsh yet majestic beauty of the Arizona desert, A Dance In The Desert embraces the spirit of friendship in an increasingly remote modern world, and pulls the heart with a star-crossed love affair. Highly recommended reading from an author who, within the context of her own life, has experienced the loss of two close friends to epilepsy. |
