Synopsis:

A story about finding love at any age, One Last Dance is the delightful tale of Morgan, aged 89, and Dixie, 79, two “mature” individuals on seemingly divergent paths. Despite their disastrous first meeting, complete with a ruined birthday cake, broken eyeglasses and insulting remarks, it was obvious to bystanders, even then, that the two were fated for each other. 

          The book follows the relationship of Dixie and Morgan, as they begin to date and ultimately decide to move in together – for economic reasons, they agree.  But the business-only relationship changes and strengthens as the couple unites to combat illness, scandal and a near-fatal accident.  It’s also a tale about how insecurities, humiliations and fears, thought long past, can haunt a person throughout his days.  Dixie fears intimacy.  Morgan has concealed important details about his divorce, his estranged children, and his lost job. 

          When a mysterious stranger, a grandson Morgan has never met, bent on vengeance for past wrongs, invades their lives, he becomes a catalyst, reconciling Morgan with his estranged Chicago family and eventually bringing Dixie and Morgan the love and pride they’d lost decades before with the loss of their children.
