One More Dance
She wanted more out of life. Will she find what she's looking for?
Josie, a high spirited young woman from a small Nova Scotia fishing village, moves to the bustling wartime port of Halifax to find work; and escape the boredom and predictability of her birthplace.
One night at a dance, Josie meets a British sailor and falls madly in love. They spend a magical twenty-four hours together before he ships out, promising to write as soon as he can. Weeks pass, then months, but no letter. She now has a decision to make. Should she listen to her head and forget about him? Or should she follow her heart and find her handsome Brit?
One More Dance is a story about a young woman in search of meaning in a troubled time. In her search, she finds love, laughter, danger, and despair; but most of all she finds herself.

Excerpts from the book
A few excerpts from “One More Dance” to give you a taste of this entertaining and page-turning novel.
She stared into his eyes, unable to pull away, as if something was holding her there, something hypnotic, mesmerizing.
Three faceless police officers dragged her out of the courtroom, as shackles suddenly clamped onto her feet.
Throwing herself on her bed, she let it all come out. All the anger, all the shame, all the fear. She sobbed uncontrollably.
