Billy Starbuck has had stories in his heart since early childhood-stories he shared with anyone who would listen: friends, family, and eventually, his wife and daughter. Over the years, he was encouraged time and time again to write them down. But for a long time, depression and low self-esteem kept those stories locked inside. Then one day, something changed. Billy found the courage to leap. Writing Ribbon Dancer reminded him that dreams, no matter how long they wait, are always worth chasing. Ribbon Dancer is a story that shows that anyone can be a hero.
