Book Title: Dancing in the Ring
Author: Susan E. Sage
Publication Date: June 22,
2023
Publisher: Black Rose Writing
Page Length: 350
Genre: Historical Fiction / Historical Romance
Detroit in the 1920s proved to be the Paris of the West for many – including Catherine McIntosh and Robert Sage. These two law school students become as passionate about each other as they are their dreams.
From a poor family in the Detroit neighborhood of Corktown, Catherine learned early on the necessity of being resilient. She becomes one of the first women in Detroit to obtain a law degree. Bob, the ‘battling barrister,’ boxes in order to pay for law school. Despite his gruff and tough-boy personality, my great uncle Bob was a friend to all: judges, cops, and even a couple members of the notorious Purple Gang. The couple becomes legendary in legal circles for their commitment to social justice causes – as well as notorious in the local speakeasies and dancehalls.
At first, their optimism seems boundless, as it had for so many following an era of trauma and challenges that include the 1918 flu pandemic. It isn’t long before their passionate courtship turns into a tempestuous marriage. Then the Great Depression hits and their lives are forever changed.

Dancing in the
Ring
Why was Bob
telling Catherine so much when he simply wanted to find out more about her? It
was like words were flying out of his mouth before he knew he was saying them.
Show some control, you blathering eejit! That’s what his mother would say.
Meeting her in the
library wasn’t the same as lunch. Soon they’d be parting ways and he had to say
something more—not only to get her attention, but to make him stand out from
the male attention, she no doubt, regularly received. She’d be gone in a few
minutes.
“Just know that
one day I’m going to marry you!”
His shout caused
all heads but hers to turn his way. He needed to run away. Fast. Why had he
mentioned marrying her? He didn’t even know her yet, though he felt like he
did. Maybe all the boxing was affecting his brain.
