Synopsis

For a father and daughter, it’s a journey through the four seasons in a poignant short story about memories and everlasting love by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Wingate. Olympic silver medalist Kalista Brooks has built a successful life in California, complete with a thriving sports technology company and a handsome fiancé. But when her father’s heart condition takes a critical turn, she rushes home to Atlanta. There, her father makes a surprising request: to relive favorite memories from all four seasons in just one month at their old farmhouse in the Blue Ridge Mountains. With help from the community and her long-lost sidekick Calvin Calhoon, Kalista creates a tapestry of cherished moments—dogwoods in bloom, homemade blackberry jam, autumn bonfires, and a magical winter evening that will live forever in her heart. But as father and daughter share these precious weeks together, Kalista discovers that time has a way of revealing what matters most. In the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains where she grew up, she learns that sometimes the sweetest seasons of life come when we least expect them.

💖Spotlight Pick — What Makes It Special

If you want a quick read with a big emotional payoff, The Last Father-Daughter Dance delivers.

A heartbreakingly original premise: Olympic silver medalist Kalista Brooks rushes home when her father’s heart condition worsens—only to hear his final wish: relive their favorite memories from all four seasons in one month.
Seasonal snapshots that feel cinematic: dogwoods in bloom, homemade blackberry jam, autumn bonfires, and one unforgettable winter night—each scene builds a tender “memory mosaic.”
More than grief—it's a reset on what matters: with help from a tight-knit community (and an old sidekick), Kalista discovers how time quietly rearranges priorities.
Short-story perfect: around 58 pages, ideal for one sitting—yet it lingers long after.
From a proven storyteller: #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Wingate (author of Before We Were Yours).
