Where did all our youthful years go? It seems like only yesterday that we were young and full of energy, and now we are careening into old age like slipping on ice and unable to stop. So how is it when our bodies suddenly slip a gear, and we become old overnight, and what is in store for us as we continue to age? This is a comical look at how we suddenly age overnight and the journey that awaits us farther down the slippery road of "Old Age".

The depression of the 1930s led people to desperate measures to survive. The marathon dance craze, which flourished at that time, seemed a simple way for people to earn extra money - dancing the hours away for cash. But the underside of that craze was filled with a competition and violence unknown to most ballrooms. A lurid tale of dancing and desperation: Horace McCoy?s classic American novel captures the dark side of the 1930s.
