The Dance of Life is a true love story. From young love to old age, the author traces

the ups and downs in the lives of two normal, everyday people. Th e twists and turns

in The Dance focus on Jans perception of the events in her life. From the decisions

she makes, to the decisions made for her, she has unanswered questions that leave

emptiness within her she cant seem to fi ll. What if? Why? If only!! How many times

do we all second guess ourselves? Good choices, bad choices. Often, there are no

choices. Jan doesnt quit until she fi nds the answers. It is funny, it is sad, it is sexy. But,

most of all, it is honest.

Writing this book has brought Jim and I even closer. Discussing the questions we both

had about our relationship as young people, and how Th e Dance steps were performed

without our awareness, have given us much to think about and remember. I hope you

enjoy reading The Dance of Life as much as I enjoyed putting it on paper.
