Dancing on My Own Two Feet: A New Life One Step at a Time

By Jenn Toddling

An inspirational book club read of one woman's journey of taking the bold step to leave her disabled--and volatile--spouse and moving across the country in search of adventure, tango, and love.

At the tender age of twenty, Jenn faces a pivotal moment when her boyfriend, Morey, proposes marriage after only a few weeks of dating. Her intuition urges her to say no, but she's spent the entirety of her teenage years caregiving for family; she yearns for adventure, and she thinks relocating to California with Morey will give her the freedom she craves. So she says yes--only to find herself back in the caregiver role after he becomes disabled a few years into their marriage. But it's Morey's volatile personality that ultimately leads Jenn to make a brave decision: it's time to leave.

Dancing on My Own Two Feet takes a poignant turn as Jenn relocates to New York City after her divorce. Here, she rediscovers a long-forgotten passion for dance and embarks on a transformative journey that transcends the physicality of movement. Each dance becomes a channel to tap into her inner wisdom, providing the courage to explore the world and embrace new adventures. Then Jenn encounters Gable, a potential suitor, prompting new questions to arise for her: Is she better off on her own? Or could Gable be the love and dance partner she's been longing for?
