Jeanne Ray. Step BAll Change. AKA Best Foot Forward.




Best Foot Forward
Jeanne Ray

This romantic comedy is a must read for all book lovers.
I have read this book 20 over times. And I still Love it.
 
The story is about Caroline Mc Swain, a dancer, and her rather complicated family.
The part of the story which I really love is the special relationship she developed with her sister Taffy Bishop and the wonderful relationship she has with her husband. Realli makes one believe that THERE IS INDEED TRUE LOVE.
How, Carolyn's and her husband's wish to waltz gracefully into retirement is faced with many obstacles, and how this obstacles in turn brings love and happiness to the family.

The characters seem so human, and their predicaments so real that the novel SEEMS Like it is autobiographical.  But it isnt. 

My favorite para, would be.
''....I followed one step behind then catching up. Syncopated pullbacks, wings and shuffles; Maxi Fords and step-ball-change;and running flaps so fast it made us laugh. We cut wide circles around the room our arms sailing out to the side. There was nothing in the world like hearing the music your own feet made, nothing like feeling that your body was the instrument."


I can feel her joy when she dances to her hearts content. 
With, Marital bliss , Reunited relationships. 

Love DEFINITELY is in the air.
