""The author's approach is pretty original with flashbacks, dreams, past life visions and western medicine treatment for schizophrenia all mixed in. Even with all that going on, I really had no trouble following the story. I felt like I was living her life. It is very powerful. Great book."

When The Shadows Began to Dance, is the breathtaking debut novel by one of the most original writers I've ever come across.

"Yamaya Cruz speaks with a fine new voice, and this novel is powerful because she has experienced many of the trials and tribulations that confront the heroine of her book."
P. B. Sharp

""So worth the read! Very original work from for a debut author."

 M. G Cagliano

"Cruz writes with a rawness that peels away protective integuments we all use to protect ourselves form the unknown. The manner in which she explores African culture, the orisha religion, spiritual cleansing, Brujeria, shamanism, and the wisdom of the ancients is the work of a writer of depth."
