I love dirty dancing and all of the characters. I do not own the charters or the copyright the person who wrote it does.

Introduction:

It is now 1975 and Frances Houseman is now thirty years old. She has decided to write a book about the summer of 1963; the summer that has never really left her; the summer that she met Johnny Castle. So many years have passed since then and Frances' could still remember it as if it was yesterday. Frances' left that summer a changed woman. Of course when that summer ended; she did not leave with Johnny the man that she fell so deeply in love with. She went on to college and had gotten a couple of degrees. After college she began to write books. It was a passion that she had and loved so very much. She had always loved to read. Once she began college, she also learned she had a passion for writing too. Frances' had written five books over the years; mostly self-help books. Since she had always wanted to be the person to help and save people from their problems. Her most successful book was about being an independent woman.

Frances' had become a very strong, liberal, independent woman and a lot of women looked up to her for that. There were a lot of people that took her advice and were big fans of her work. Besides just writing she also had a degree in psychology and when she was not writing she was a therapist for woman with issues ; such as love, divorce; and just about anything else a woman would need counseling for. Of course Frances' was very good at giving advice and all of her patients were very pleased to have her help. Although she gave them wonderful advice, she needed to take some it herself.

Frances' was unmarried and had no children. She lived in a penthouse in New York City. Every day it was the same thing work and more work; other than that she had no life of her own. She lived through other people's life and for the most part that satisfied her. She loved to give advice and be a miracle worker for others. She loved to make people's lives better and help them find complete happiness; never did she ever try to have a little bit of her own.

Frances' Houseman had made something of herself but, she had a boring lonely life other than her work. She helped all sorts of women and she even had her own business in it. She had her own business now; in which she offered help to unwed mothers, abused wives, rape victims, and practically any other thing that someone might need help with. The idea for it came from what had happened to Penny in 1963. She wanted woman to have a place they could come for help and a place they could stay to start their lives over. She never wanted anyone to go through what Penny had that summer and no one would if she could help it. She was a true humanitarian in a lot of people's eyes. She was very well respected for her work and had even been recognized for it in Newspaper articles, letters, awards, and even people in the political field.

Frances' now was taking some time off from her busy life to write this book. The book that would help her find herself once again. To do that she needed to go back to beginning; where it all began. To the time where everyone called her Baby and she was completely happy. Not that she was totally unhappy. I mean hell she had helped hundreds of people and touched their lives but, she never did anything with her personal life; in that sense she was not happy at all. She left her happiness back at Kellerman's in 1963. Frances' set out to write a book about the most amazing summer and time she had ever experienced in her lifetime. She could maybe settle her feelings that she never completely dealt with after that summer. She threw herself into school and then into her work. Yes it was her passion and she loved every minute of it. There were once other passions in her life; the ones she found at Kellermans in 1963. She had found the love of dance, how to truly love someone with your whole heart, and that she could make a difference. Johnny Castle had shown her that the world was not perfect and that she could really make a difference. After twelve years she had lost sight of that and now she was going to write a book to find herself once again and deal with the inner demons she had left from that summer. It would hopefully put her life into perspective.

France's had tried for months to start her book but, she could not focus on it in the city. She finally made up her mind that she needed time away from work and to the place where she hoped she could find herself again; the place in the Catskill Mountains. Kellermans the place that would truly allow her to write her story; about that amazing summer of 1963. So now that is where she was headed to face things and feelings that had been lingering for years. She was sure Johnny Castle was not there anymore and yet something was drawing her there and to write this book. She just was not sure what it was.
