ⓘ About Sheila Williams

“Dancing on the Edge of the Roof” was adapted into a movie that dropped on Netflix, called “Juanita”. It starred Alfre Woodard, Blair Underwood, and Adam Beach. “Dancing on the Edge of the Roof” is the first stand alone novel and was released in 2002. Juanita Lewis is running away from home at 41, courtesy of this one way ticket to Montana, which is a place that seems to be as far away from the poverty and violence of the Columbus, Ohio projects as the moon is. She’s looking for excitement and adventure, if such things even exist for a pre-menopausal African American woman with three already grown, deadbeat kids.
