As break-ups go, Alissa Lindley's break-up with her husband, Thomas, was pretty bad. She's pretty sure it was at least as fraught with gossip and rumors as Nicole and Tom's, as public as Diana and Charles', as ridiculous as Burt and Loni's, and maybe even as tragic as Ann and Henry's. Ann Boleyn has the edge in Alissa's opinion because she actually dies while Alissa just wanted to. Discovering your husband's infidelity by being diagnosed with an STD can do that to a girl. This break-up leads inexorably to a break-down for Alissa, involving the very public destruction of a fax machine. (It really was asking for it). Alissa's left trying to find her balance again and feeling like she's having to do it in high heels.

"Balancing in High Heels is a fun read, with a tightly constructed and interesting plot, a cast of delightfully zany but utterly believable characters, all well-written in a clean breezy style that had me turning the pages until I'd read the whole thing in a little over four hours. I'd happily recommend it to anyone and may send a copy to my daughter (with hopes that she doesn't see me in Alissa's mother!).

- All About Romance

"The characters with their quirkiness, humor and realism, hit right at home; we all know people like this, or we should. Funny and heartwarming, this story shows us an inside view of family, skinned knees and all, touched with grace and a bit of tongue in cheek."

- Fresh Fiction Review

"Rendahl has a talent for creating humorous, yet heartbreaking characters in situations that at once make you laugh and make you a little sad."
