Jan Carol was born in Detroit, Michigan, and moved with her family to Connecticut when she was five years old. She always wanted to be a nurse from a very young age, and never strayed from that ambition. She dreamed of getting married, raising several children, and living happily ever after. Obviously, nothing is as easy as it sounds to a child. But, after meeting her true love at the age of twelve, she never forgot him. Jan has worked in the nursing profession in one capacity or another since old enough to hold a job, and continues to this day. She has degrees in nursing and hospital and healthcare management, and is a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. Her wonderful husband, Jim, resides in a skilled nursing facility in Naples, Florida where she visits almost daily. She, her son, Jim, and her chocolate poodle Godiva, also live in Naples, Florida. Jan wants all who read her book to be true to themselves, and never give up on your dreams. Sometimes, they do come true.

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. The twists and turns in The Dance focus on Jan's 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 can't seem to fill. What if? Why? If only!! How many times do we all second guess ourselves? Good choices, bad choices. Often, there are no choices. Jan doesn't quit until she finds 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 The 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.
