[quote=Anonymous]"Step Ball Change" by Jeanne Ray, who is Ann Padgett's mom.
The protagonist in the book runs a dance studio, and the book title refers to a tap dance move.  The book was about a couple in their early 60's who daydream about retiring and traveling, but life keeps interfering.
They both work, they have 4 kids and their nest is not quite empty.  They hired a contractor to do a remodeling project only to learn that their foundation has been crumbling for years so now the contractor practically lives at their house.  Their daughter gets engaged to a guy from a super wealthy family.  The mother of the groom has a list of 900 people to invite to the wedding.  And the wife's sister has come to stay with them  while she nurses her wounds because her husband ran off with a younger woman.

I thought the book was a lot of fun.  I had read one other book by Jeanne Ray several years ago, which was called "Calling Invisible Women".  I had wanted to read more by her for a long time but my library overdrive / libby website didn't have any of her other books.  I happened to see this book at the thrift shop a few months ago and bought it.  [/quote]
