Last Dance at Jitterbug Lounge

This is a heartwarming story of love, loss and reconciliation. The story is based in Catawah, OK. At the beginning you meet Bud Crabtree, as he is visiting Geri's grave, his late wife. You also meet Jack, Bud's grandson, and Claire, Jack's wife, as they receive the call that Bud is in the hospital and is not expected to make it. This story takes you through all the ups and downs of Bud's and Jack's life...Bud's as he endures WWII memories and the ghosts of his past and Jack's as he deals with his past and present to determine where he is going in his future. You can absolutely feel the love oozing out of this story.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It made me think about some of the battles I chose to fight and whether I should be fighting them at all. I loved the story and recommend it as a quick, light read. You won't regret picking this one up.



Sometimes the sweet sounds of remembered melodies can reignite the heart... Jack and Claire Crabtree were once happily married, but separate interests have left each one dancing to their own tune. She refuses to move into the brand-new house he built for the family. He spends too much time at work with a colleague whom she considers a threat to any man's fidelity. When Jack is summoned back to Oklahoma to see his ailing grandpa Bud, Claire only makes the trip at the last minute.

Bud and Geri Crabtree danced through life together for seventy years as friends, lovers and devoted spouses. They always knew what mattered most in life--and the laughter and tears come naturally when their family gathers together. And if Jack and Claire can remember the bond they once shared, they might be able to rediscover what's wonderful about love....
