Notes

  • Cover artist credited on back flap of dustjacket.
  • Publication date from code "0378" on back flap of dustjacket.
  • This book inexplicably shares the same ISBN as a book entitled Dancing in the Wings by Debbie Allen(!). Barnes & Noble only shows the Allen book in a search. Amazon shows both titles.
  • OCLC gives a physical size and page count but lists the physical format as "online version" instead of "book".
