Hunter: The Dancer and the Drum — Judith Ashley

Hunter Compton ran away at seventeen when she learned she was pregnant. Now she is a successful single mom, who is doing what she loves -- teaching dance. A ghost from her past, the man who is the father of her daughter, appears a few months before the girl's high school graduation. Overhearing her mother argue with the man claiming to be her father, Logan Compton runs away. Grant Haywood Parker IV has always done his duty and lived up to the expectations of a Haywood Parker, especially a Haywood Parker IV -- except for that long ago summer and now. He will do anything to claim Logan as his daughter. With the support of The Circle, dancing and drumming, Hunter must battle the demons and doubts that plague her, find her daughter and learn the lesson of forgiveness for her own transgressions as well as Grant's.
