Never Ending Dance follows Catherine Cannon's quest
for the answer to one question. Will I dance till death?
Born in Missouri in the 1970's, Catherine learned how to
run, how to leave everything and everyone behind before
the age of five. A long-time Department of Defense
employee, she has risen up the civilian chain, but has
always kept her private life secret, just as she was
taught to do as a young child. Until, at the age of
thirty-two, that all changed. Catherine, tired of a
lifetime obsessing over every twitch or stumble, decides
to go through the rigorous steps of genetic testing to
see if she carries the debilitating, deadly Huntington's
gene. The hardest part of the testing process is that
Catherine must open up to a psychologist in order to be
assessed for suicide risk. Distant from her family and
having recently dumped her boyfriend, Catherine only has
a few friends to help her get through the ordeal, until
the striking Colonel Jake Rivers makes a sudden
appearance in her office. Jake makes Catherine want for
something she has never had ... a man that loves her,
for who she is. Unfortunately, secrecy is a habit she
just can't seem to break and it may end her relationship
with him before it even gets started. Electing to keep
both her past boyfriend-turned stalker and budding
relationship with Jake a secret, she chooses to not
disclose them to her psychologist, and focuses strictly
on discussing the relationship with her dysfunctional
family. Her therapy sessions are going well, until
Catherine's world is turned upside down when she is
forced to face her demons and return to the small town
of Morton, Texas. A gritty, dark look at living with
Huntington's disease, poverty and pain, the humor fused
throughout makes Never Ending Dance an emotional
rollercoaster ride. Catherine Cannon's struggles,
triumphs and sheer will to survive, will have readers
cheering her on until the bitter end.
