'Inspired by the life of Andrew Jobling's mother, Sue Jobling, who fought with courage and determination for fifteen years to live life to the fullest as she battled breast and liver cancer, DANCE UNTIL IT RAINS reveals lessons that can help us all to live a life of health, happiness and prosperity. Born in an Eastern European country under Communist rule and under the increasing threat of a world war, Sue's childhood was full of challenges and events that significantly impacted her journey to adulthood. Despite this, she became a successful career woman, loving wife and adoring mother to three children. When threatened by the diagnosis of cancer her inner strength shone through. With determination, gratitude, focus and an attitude of 'doing whatever it takes', she set about not just beating the disease but creating a life of abundance. While she died younger than most, she took full advantage of her limited years, and decided that it was not about how much time she had but rather how she used the time she was blessed with. Each chapter follows part of Sue's story, ending with lessons we can all take from her experiences and apply to our own lives. ' (Publication summary),
