Dancing Softy - A story of hope and overcoming. A story about the resilience of the human spirit and the touch of a gentle God. Sixteen-year-old Jamie DeSouza runs away from home to live on the streets of Toronto. She learns to survive by becoming tough, hard, angry, a fighter. When she commits a petty crime, she is placed in a psychiatric ward where she struggles to maintain hope.

Caught in the mental health system, Jamie is stripped of her freedom. It’s in that dark place she learns to fight back in ways that ultimately free her. The people Jamie meets along the way teach her that dancing softly in life is far more powerful than the use of violence.

"A powerful story of hope and courage that shows nothing is impossible to overcome if we learn to dance more softly. With a rare insight and honing her craft, Nikki challenges the reader to trust that good can come out of every situation no matter how hopeless it might seem. The beautiful message in Dancing Softly is that everyone's life is a gift and has value and purpose. I highly recommend reading this book." Melvina Walter: Executive Dir. of The Halton Women's Centre

"Dancing Softly is an insight into the hearts and minds of people who struggle with mental illness. Jamie's story of redemption shows how people can turn their lives around and change their future. This book will entrance its readers as well as inspire and captivate them. I couldn't put it down." Sasha Stevenson
