Author Andrea Warner’s short book that packs a punch, The Time of My Life (ECW Press $19.95), delves into the enduring legacy of the film Dirty Dancing, which defied low expectations upon its release in 1987 to become a cultural phenomenon. Warner explores the film’s multifaceted themes, including its portrayal of abortion rights, class dynamics and political activism, alongside its iconic soundtrack and memorable chemistry between the lead characters.
