About the Book

BlueInk Review: One More Last Dance is a compelling story about the power of friendship, one that develops between two men through an unlikely road trip. Peckerwood Finch has a lot going against him. The 25-year-old Cajun man was abandoned at birth by his parents, endured abusive foster parents, is illiterate, and there's his name--an unflattering term for a rural white Southerner. Fortunately, he's affectionately known as Peck (his given name is Boudreaux Clement Finch). Peck is a fisherman and mows the grass at a small hospice on a Louisiana bayou. There he meets Gabriel "Gabe" Jordan, an elderly African American man dying of cancer whose final wish is to attend the Newport Jazz Festival. Despite his own shortcomings, Peck is determined to make Gabe's dream come true. The new friends hit the road only to be stymied by, among other things, a lack of funds and Peck's poor sense of direction. At times, guardian angels come to their rescue, including a wealthy real estate broker who offers to buy airline tickets, among many other generosities. But Peck has no form of identification and must travel by bus while Gabe flies. The bulk of the story then concerns Peck's adventures en route. Antil's moving narrative about selflessness relies heavily on readers believing that kindness from strangers exists, but it's never syrupy. Each character is fully developed, complete with foibles, hopes and triumphs. Peck's voice--uneducated, but respectful and kind--is thick with Cajun patois, interspersed with Cajun French ("I don't have it, cher...I gived it to you las' night"), and Gabe displays authentic knowledge about blues and jazz. Their friendship is the story's heart: Peck literally leaves everything, including a fishing line in the water, to help Gabe, who becomes a father figure. Although suspension of disbelief is occasionally required, as the story relays numerous serendipitous encounters, One More Last Dance is a sensitive, engaging portrait of the beauty of true friendship--one readers will surely savor.

Review :
Kirkus Reviews says, "An adventure-driven novel chronicles an eventful road trip taken by a dying man and the Cajun French version of Forrest Gump. A delightfully quirky tale both unpredictable and affecting." Wishing Shelf UK Review - ..".this opens big, hooking the reader in...Peck and his lawyer, Lily Cup. It's very much a Grisham-style legal thriller...reminded me of A Time To Kill." BlueInk Review - "Peck is a fisherman and mows the grass at a small hospice on a Louisiana bayou. There he meets Gabriel "Gabe" Jordan, an elderly African American man dying of cancer whose final wish is to attend the Newport Jazz Festival. Despite his own shortcomings, Peck is determined to make Gabe's dream come true."
