Everything's a Two-Step but a Waltz The Reluctant Texan Comes Home

Why does a high powered, high profile high-heeled global consultant and cabaret singer return to a small town in Texas after fleeing for over forty years and swearing never to live there again? Everything's a Two-Step but a Waltz: The Reluctant Texan Comes Home, is the "coming of aging" story of a late-life collision between New York Class and Texas Sass, the idyllic life Chick Morgan was living that crashed and burned on a single day with an unimaginable double-barreled heartbreak. It's the story of figuring out, with honesty, vulnerability, and Chick's trademark humor, how she arrived at this point late in life with so many relationship misfires, and old enough to know better. Chick's stories gently traverse the universal landscapes of the heart and the meaning of family and home.

"Chick Morgan has given us one of the best re-invention stories I know: Texas native heads north to the Big City and carves out a career as a cabaret singer/Wall Street dynamo. Then, in her sixties, to the surprise of nobody more than herself, she finds herself back in Texas and sinks down roots again - falls in love, builds a new career, and a big, full life in the Hill Country, complete with a closet-full of cowboy boots and days filled with friendship. This brave, honest, funny, and true story made me want to pack my bags and check out Wimberley, Texas (so I did.)
