Dancing Dolly

About the Book

Dolly married her high school sweetheart and spent the next forty years as one part of a couple. When she suddenly lost her husband, she embarked on a search for a companion or new mate to fill the empty place in her heart. Her adventure took her to some bad and some good places, for which she was totally unprepared. The story was written in the hope that it might help some other widow to be prepared for the pitfalls and failures a single woman may face in a world heavily weighted in favor of men, where the rules of conduct are so different for men than for women. Woven throughout her story, hopefully, are some lessons, lessons she learned too late; and because of that, she may have lost the one and only perfect mate in the whole world for her.

About the Author

Eva Caine, which the author used for her pen name, grew up in Seattle, Washington after World War II . While she was in a university, she had an English Literature teacher who made the subject very interesting and encouraged his students to try creative writing, and helped Eva get past the fear barrier and gain a little confidence. She always enjoyed reading and, especially liked biographies because they were about real people and events. She developed a particular interest in American History about the time her daughters were studying for their teaching degrees. Eva attended a Business College to sharpen her shorthand and typing skills because that was the direction her interests took her early on. She also took accounting at a college in California while residing there. Eva was happy and content with her marriage, and her life, and had no special need to express herself by writing until her beloved husband died, and her future looked out of control.
