Bookroo's summary

Tony's heart beats to the rhythm of dance, but his father envisions him in a chef's hat, continuing the family legacy at the City Hotel. As their dreams collide, can they find harmony in their differences and discover a shared joy? Join Tony on a journey where passion and tradition meet, and see if love can bridge the gap between dance floors and kitchens.

From the publisher

Boy, does Tony love to dance! And boy, would his father love for him to follow in the family footsteps and become a chef. Father and son appear to be on a collision course, but instead, they’re able to celebrate their differences – and the things they both love to do!
